Normec Foodcare Online is taking the next step in the renewal of its digital platform for quality management, compliance, and food safety. The first updated modules are now available, and the migration of customers to the new environment has begun. At the same time, we are continuing to build a platform that can respond more quickly to customer needs and technological developments. Would you like to know what the updated platform and the migration mean for your organization?
Digital solutions are playing an increasingly important role within Normec. That is why the software activities have been consolidated within the Digital Products service line. Within this organization, product, development, and support teams are working together on the further development of Normec Foodcare Online and QC One.
Joris Jansen has been appointed Managing Director of Digital Products. In this role, he will work with the relevant teams to further develop the software products and support customers in their quality and compliance processes. The new organization ensures greater focus, additional investments, and a clear long-term vision for the software products.
In recent months, the company has invested in a completely new platform and modern technology. This creates a foundation upon which further development can be built in the coming years. The new foundation makes it possible to innovate more quickly, better respond to customer needs, and gradually roll out new features.
The renewal is not just technical. Ease of use, performance, and a consistent user experience are also receiving special attention. For example, the platform is designed to support quality and compliance professionals in clearly recording, managing, and tracking information and actions.
The first results of the update are now visible. The updated Manual Module, Registration Module, and Action Module are available and are being used by the first customers.
Among other things, the modules offer:
In addition, the phased migration of customers to the new environment has begun. By implementing the transition in stages, each migration can be carefully managed. Customers will be informed of this in a timely manner. Organizations that wish to make the switch sooner can contact Normec Foodcare Online.
In the coming period, the Normec Foodcare Online modules will be gradually updated and made available on the new platform. Among other things, users can expect the following in the coming period:
With each release, we are working toward a single integrated quality platform for quality management, compliance, and food safety. New features are added step by step, allowing organizations to prepare systematically for changes within their digital quality processes.
Customer requests, feedback, and ideas play a key role in determining priorities and future features. Normec Foodcare Online therefore continues to keep users informed about new modules, innovations, and migrations through newsletters and product updates.
This approach gives customers insight into the platform’s direction and upcoming improvements. At the same time, it leaves room to incorporate real-world experiences into further development.
With the revamped platform, Normec Foodcare Online is laying the foundation for the further digitization of quality and compliance processes in the food sector. The first modules are live, the migration has begun, and new innovations will follow step by step in the coming period.
Discover what the updated environment and the planned migration mean for your quality and compliance processes.

PFAS, a collective term for thousands of chemicals known as “forever chemicals,” are found worldwide in soil, surface water, groundwater, and food production chains. Greenpeace’s new PFAS map shows that these substances can also enter the human body and the food production chain via drinking water.
Consumers are looking for healthier, protein-rich, and more sustainable products, but they still base their choices primarily on taste and sensory experience. That makes reformulation complex. Sugar, for example, affects more than just sweetness; it can also alter texture, mouthfeel, and body. Added protein can be nutritionally beneficial, but it can sometimes result in a drier texture or an unusual aftertaste. A similar risk applies to fat reduction, clean label initiatives, and other formulation adjustments.
A Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs from a Belgian poultry farm has now made at least 300 people ill. The incident once again shows the importance of systematic monitoring and timely laboratory testing throughout the egg supply chain.
LIÈGE – Normec Sensory is further expanding its presence in Belgium with the opening of a new sensory testing center in Liège.

The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has applied since 12 August 2026. This marks the start of an important new phase for every organisation that manufactures, imports, uses or places packaging on the European market. The Regulation introduces stricter requirements covering substances of concern, recyclability, material use, reuse and the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance. For food businesses, this is no longer a distant development. The first obligations already apply, with further requirements being introduced in phases over the coming years. It is therefore essential to understand your packaging portfolio and determine in good time where changes are needed.
