Industries We Serve — Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage EHS Software

Manage HACCP and GFSI compliance, FDA/USDA/OSHA obligations, workforce safety, and traceability — on one connected, AI-native platform.

Food and beverage operations face a specific mix of pressure: food safety standards that tighten every year, overlapping federal requirements, physically demanding work at speed, and traceability rules that keep rising even when deadlines move. Most teams manage this across disconnected systems. Benchmark Gensuite brings food safety, worker safety, compliance, and sustainability reporting together instead — built on a 25+ year foundation of EHS and sustainability practice, trusted by companies worldwide.

Boston Beer Company cut ergonomic risk assessment time from 60 minutes to under 5 — using AI-powered video assessment inside Benchmark Gensuite.

Why Food & Beverage Leaders Choose Benchmark Gensuite

Built for the pressure this industry actually carries

Food safety standards tighten every year, across every facility.

One system handles hazard analysis, critical-control monitoring, and audit management — ready for a routine review or a surprise one.

FDA, USDA, and OSHA requirements overlap — and duplicate your team's work.

One compliance calendar. One audit record. Not a separate binder per regulation.

Repetitive, physically demanding work puts your workforce at risk.

AI-assisted ergonomic assessment makes it practical to check every line, not just the ones already showing up in injury reports.

A slow trace-back turns a small issue into a big recall.

FSMA 204 requires fast, detailed records. Structured supplier data gets you there in minutes, not days.

Core Capabilities

Built for Food & Beverage

EHS

Quality

Operational Safety

Compliance & Enterprise Risk

Product Stewardship

Environmental Management

Sustainability and Climate

AI runs natively across every capability below — the same engine scoring ergonomic risk, flagging audit anomalies, and surfacing compliance gaps before they become findings. More on Genny AI →

EHS

Log incidents, injuries, and near-misses from the floor, not just the office. Route concern reports from frontline workers straight into corrective action, with every open item tracked until it’s closed.

Quality

Run hazard analysis and critical-control monitoring from one system. Benchmark against GFSI-recognized schemes like SQF and BRCGS without rebuilding your audit process for each one.

Operational Safety

Score ergonomic and musculoskeletal risk in minutes, not hours, using AI-assisted video assessment. Back it with behavior-based safety observations on the production floor.

Compliance & Enterprise Risk

Track FDA, USDA, and OSHA obligations on one shared calendar. Stay ready for FSMA 204’s Food Traceability Rule, now due July 20, 2028. Manage training records and plan audits without juggling spreadsheets across sites.

Product Stewardship

Classify packaging materials and manage supplier declarations in one place. Map that data to multiple states’ Extended Producer Responsibility requirements as they expand.

Environmental Management

Track water, waste, and emissions data at the facility level — the operational foundation every disclosure depends on.

Sustainability and Climate

For food and beverage companies, supply-chain and agricultural-sourcing emissions usually outweigh what happens inside your own walls. Roll facility and supplier data into one GHG and ESG disclosure, instead of collecting it twice.

Proof From the Field

Real results from real teams

Boston Beer Company

Ergonomic assessments in 5 minutes, not 60

45% of Boston Beer’s 2023 injuries were MSD-related. AI-powered video assessment now scores ergonomic risk in real time, cutting assessment time from 60 minutes to under 5.

“The technology opens the floodgates and makes everything more efficient.”

Mike Malchitsky, Senior Manager, EHS Corporate Programs

Mark Anthony Brewing

Building packaging data that scales across states

With seven U.S. states now enforcing packaging EPR laws, Mark Anthony Brewing built a reusable packaging data foundation — now managing ~1.5M suppliers and 7.6M+ items platform-wide.

“If you put a product into commerce, you bear the responsibility for what happens when the consumer is done with it.”

Whitney Smith, Senior Consultant, Trinity Consultants

Tropicana

A global EHS rollout in 7 weeks

Expanding internationally and standardizing EHS across 2,400 employees, Tropicana was fully deployed in seven weeks, with 12 global KPIs established for ongoing tracking.

“It’s scalable… it plays well in all the different areas — EHS, Sustainability, and Quality.”

Chris Masters, Senior Director of Global EHS

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear from food and beverage teams

How does Benchmark Gensuite help food and beverage companies manage food safety and worker safety together, instead of separately?

One platform spans HACCP/GFSI audit workflows and ergonomic and incident management, so a single concern report can route to corrective action, incident management, or a quality workflow depending on what it uncovers — rather than living in whichever disconnected system first received it.

What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and how does it affect food and beverage packaging?

EPR shifts financial and reporting responsibility for packaging waste from municipalities to the producers placing packaged products into commerce. As of mid-2026, seven U.S. states — California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington — have active packaging EPR programs, each with distinct material definitions and reporting requirements.

What is FSMA 204, and when does it take effect?

FSMA 204, the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule, requires enhanced traceability records — Critical Tracking Events and Key Data Elements — for foods on the FDA’s Food Traceability List. The original compliance date of January 20, 2026 was extended; the current compliance date is July 20, 2028. The rule’s requirements haven’t changed, only the timeline.

How can food and beverage companies reduce musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) injuries on production lines?

AI-assisted video assessment can score ergonomic risk in minutes rather than the up to an hour manual methods require — making it realistic to assess risk across every line and task, not only the ones already generating injury reports.

Why does Scope 3 matter for food and beverage sustainability reporting?

For most food and beverage companies, supply-chain and agricultural-sourcing emissions outweigh what happens inside their own operations. Credible ESG and CSRD disclosure depends on data collected across suppliers and materials, not just internal facility data — which is why sustainability reporting tools built around a single company’s four walls fall short for this industry.

How long does it take to implement EHS software across a multi-site food and beverage operation?

Timelines vary by scope, but a phased, KPI-driven rollout can move quickly even at scale — one global beverage manufacturer standardized EHS practices across 2,400 employees in seven weeks.

Does Benchmark Gensuite's AI run across the whole platform, or just in specific tools?

AI runs natively across the platform rather than living in one module. The same engine that scores ergonomic risk for food and beverage operations also supports anomaly detection in audits and compliance tracking elsewhere in the system — Genny AI is the umbrella for that capability.
