Case Study: Steam Whistle Brewing achieves CFIA compliance and enhanced quality assurance with eLabNext's eLabJournal

Steam Whistle brewing aces compliance and quality with eLabJournal

Steam Whistle Brewing, Canada’s Premium Beer, needed to comply with a July 2020 CFIA law requiring backward and forward traceability from raw ingredients to finished product while also improving QA across two breweries and multiple labs. To address this, they turned to eLabNext and adopted its eLabJournal LIMS (with the eLabInventory module) to replace disparate records and provide company‑wide data visibility.

eLabNext implemented eLabJournal to centralize QA test results, automate batch and sample tracking, and manage lab inventory, delivering immediate CFIA‑level traceability and a “one‑stop shop” for data. The solution linked QA and production for faster root‑cause analysis and preventive action, streamlined ordering of supplies, and gave Steam Whistle a measurable QA performance advantage while enabling compliance with the Safe Food for Canadians Act.
