A new program allows school districts to immediately automate HACCP procedures in all of their schools – getting the manual version of E-Control Systems’ software at no charge.

Chatsworth, CA, September 2005 - E-Control Systems, Inc., a trusted leader of hardware and software products for the foodservice industry's Online Kitchen and HACCP control, and the leader in Automated HACCP systems, with hundreds of installations nationwide, has come up with a program that allows Schools Districts to immediately automate the most important part of HACCP, temperature monitoring of equipment and food.
E-Control Systems will be showing these new solutions at the NAFEM Show in Anaheim, CA 23-25 of September 2005 (Booth #2908 in the Technology Pavilion).

The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) issued guidance on implementing a food safety system in schools. The guidance will assist school food authorities (SFAs) in meeting the requirement in section 111 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-265).

To comply with the law, SFAs have to implement HACCP principles before the end of School Year 2005-2006.

E-Control Systems is introducing a manual version of its industry leading control software that will allow all schools in a school district to collect and monitor equipment and food temperatures right away, with the option to move gradually into a fully automated HACCP control system.

Under this new promotion provided by E-Control Systems, any school district that will introduce E-Control Systems’ automated HACCP System, using Raptor Web Software™ (RWS™) into at least one of its schools will get free of charge for school year 2005/2006, a license to use the manual monitoring module for HACCP data collection for all of their other schools. This allows the school district’s foodservice department to use the same tools to manage and monitor the critical control points (CCPs) needed for Food Safety (HACCP) from the very beginning.

E-Control Systems also provides the option to use the manual version without any commitment to purchase our products in the future. For School Districts wishing to go along this program, we will provide the software for an evaluation period of 45 days at no charge. No charge will be requested during this evaluation period. If the School District will decide to use the software in its schools for the rest of the school year, we will determine the estimated needed support for the use of the software at the specific School District and get the School District’s commitment.
