Description
Traceability for optimum food safety Around the globe, food safety is becoming an ever more important issue. In North America, the FDA recently published its blueprint for the future—New Era of Smarter Food Safety—which calls for a new approach to food safety, leveraging technology and other tools to create a safer, more digital, and more traceable food system within the fish processing industry. These proposed new regulations state that traceability documents must be provided to the FDA within 24 hours of a request, a breakout, a recall, or other public threat. Consumers also increasingly want to know where their food comes from, and more and more retail outlets are insisting that their suppliers guarantee full traceability.
With traceability in place, food processors can investigate consumer complaints immediately, find the source of the problem, and take prompt corrective action. In this webcast, we’ll hear from Celeste Leroux, who has an extensive background in ocean science and US policymaking, on the newly announced FDA regulations on traceability. Additionally, Dustin Worrell and Michael Parrish, who have extensive experience in the seafood industry and particularly tracking and tracing, will highlight how Marel’s Innova software provides a real-time, digital end-to-end solution to tracking and tracing of seafood.
