Editions / Food processing
Food processing
The one edition with a gate at both ends. Goods in can turn a lorry around, a failed metal-detector check holds everything made since the last good one, and the chill clock runs live in minutes: 90 minutes from oven to below 8 °C.

Batches
A failed check reaches backwards
The detector passed at 09:30 and failed at 10:30, so everything made in between is held — not because something was found, but because nothing proves it isn't there. The check interval decides the size of the recall the plant is willing to have.
- Held batches carry the reason and where they physically are
- A missed chill limit is a hold with no release button
- A cook under the recipe's limit is held — rework, never release

Recipes & labels
One row sets three controls
A recipe sets the cook limit, the chill window and the label sleeve the packer must confirm — all at once. Nobody types 75 into a phone, so nobody can type 65.

The lines
An allergen changeover blocks the line
Strip, wash and rinse, rebuild with a second person, then the protein swab — as consecutive steps, not a menu. The next run cannot start until the swab is clear.
- The label sleeve is confirmed at the start, middle and end of each run
- Goods in refuses a lorry at 9 °C against an agreed 4 °C — and records it
- Customer complaints logged and routed to a named person
