Irish food operations carry one of the heaviest compliance burdens in Europe. GNV turns allergen management, HACCP logging, and FSAI traceability requirements into structured, verifiable records — built into the daily workflow, not bolted on the night before an audit.
GNV is built around the specific regulatory obligations facing food operations in Ireland and across the EU — not generic food safety templates.
EU 1169 requires food businesses to accurately declare all 14 major allergens in ingredients and dishes — for both pre-packed and non-pre-packed food. Non-compliance carries significant FSAI enforcement risk.
The FSAI requires food businesses to be able to identify the origin, nature, and destination of all food commodities. "One step back, one step forward" traceability must be maintained and demonstrable on request.
HACCP is mandatory for all EU food businesses. It requires systematic identification and verification of critical control points — from delivery temperatures to hot-hold logging and cross-contamination controls.
For Irish operators supplying the UK market, or working to equivalent PPDS standards, GNV captures the full ingredient and allergen data needed for compliant PPDS labelling — reducing manual effort and mislabelling risk.
"Most compliance systems document problems after the fact.— GNV Platform Design Principle
GNV is designed to capture truth as work happens —
turning every kitchen event into structured, verifiable proof."
GNV captures compliance evidence at the moment work happens — not reconstructed days later from memory and spreadsheets.
A chef logs a delivery, allergen check, or temperature reading directly in GNV — on a tablet or phone, in seconds, without interrupting service.
Every entry is timestamped, linked to the relevant ingredient, batch, or supplier, and cross-referenced against FSAI and EU 1169 requirements automatically.
If an allergen matrix changes, a temperature breach occurs, or a supplier update affects a dish, the relevant team member is notified before service — not after a complaint.
When FSAI or an internal auditor asks for records, GNV generates a structured, verifiable report — covering every CCP log, allergen declaration, and batch chain in scope.
From single-site cafés to multi-location contract caterers, GNV scales to the complexity of your compliance environment.
High-stakes allergen requirements for vulnerable patients. GNV gives dietitians and catering managers verified, meal-level allergen and nutritional records — defensible if challenged.
Child protection makes allergen mislabelling unacceptable. GNV ensures school kitchens have current, accurate allergen data on every dish served — updated automatically when recipes change.
Managing compliance across ten or forty kitchens with varying menus and suppliers is a different problem than one site. GNV provides group-level visibility with site-level audit detail.
From restaurant menus to banqueting and room service, GNV tracks allergens and provenance across all F&B outlets — ensuring consistency and reducing liability exposure.
Corporate catering contracts increasingly require verified compliance records. GNV provides the structured evidence to satisfy procurement teams and internal audit requirements.
EU 1169 and FSAI obligations apply regardless of size. GNV's Single Venue tier gives smaller operators the same compliance rigour without enterprise complexity or cost.
This is what FSAI compliance looks like when it's captured at the point of work rather than reconstructed the night before an inspection.
| ❌ Without GNV | ✓ With GNV |
|---|---|
| Allergen records kept in spreadsheets, often outdated when suppliers change ingredients without notice | Live allergen matrix updated automatically when supplier data changes — staff alerted before the ingredient reaches the kitchen |
| HACCP temperature logs filled in on paper, sometimes retrospectively, with gaps that create audit vulnerabilities | Digital CCP logs captured at the point of measurement, timestamped, and flagged automatically if any critical limit is breached |
| FSAI traceability requires a day of manual work to reconstruct which batches are affected by a supplier recall | Affected batch identification takes under 60 seconds — every ingredient and dish in scope identified automatically |
| Compliance data sits in silos across sites — head office has no real-time visibility until something goes wrong | Group-level compliance dashboard with site-level drill-down — issues flagged before they become incidents |
| Audit preparation takes 2–3 days of staff time pulling records from multiple sources, with risk of missing evidence | Audit-ready export generated in minutes — structured, verifiable, covering every CCP, allergen declaration, and batch record |
We're working with a small number of Irish food operations to pilot GNV in 2025. If you run a kitchen with real compliance pressure, we'd like to talk.
