Why does traceability matter?

Traceability from farm to table is not yet a reality in the grocery supply chain. Even as more foodborne issues can be identified and recalls are more frequent, it’s not easy to discover what went wrong between where food is grown to where it’s processed, packaged, shipped, prepared and delivered to the end consumer.

That’s why we wrote Solutions for the Grocery Supply Chain Traceability Problem: Protecting Consumer & Business Health with Data Accuracy. In just five pages we explain new regulations set by Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), food safety driven brands and compliance requirements, and the technology that makes this grocery supply chain easier.
