Abstract: A method for guaranteeing at least one characteristic of a fluid used for producing food products. This method utilizes a system for piping and delivering the fluid, combined with means for producing the products, in order to use the fluid for producing the products; the measuring a value of the characteristic; the comparing the measured value with a predetermined threshold value; the act of executing an action if the measured value departs from the threshold value; the combining the measured value with first information for identifying at least one product; and then the storing the associated value and the associated information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing products using a fluid, which enables one to control the quality of the fluid from the point of production to the point of use, monitored on a microbiological, physical, and chemical basis. At least one sensor for the acquisition of purity information and a system for storing such purity information is included.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method comprising steps which consist in: providing a system (8) for transporting and dispensing the fluid associated with means (5) for producing the products (3) to use the fluid for producing the products; measuring a value of the characteristic; comparing the measured value to a predetermined threshold; carrying out an action if the measured value exceeds the threshold value; associating the measured value with a first information identifying at least a product (3); and storing the associated value and information.
