Through its “New Era in Food Safety Blueprint,” the FDA continues to increase its focus on tech-enabled traceability. It is listed as the first of four core elements and will be featured as the first episode of a new FDA quarterly podcast.
Adroit has partnered with Aptean Food and Beverage to establish solutions and to merge food safety, business processes, and technology to enable food processors and distributors to be properly positioned for what is to come. A proper tech-enabled traceability program and corresponding recall/incident response plan are critical.
In Aptean’s recent food and beverage trends report, traceability demands were listed in the top three things that will impact the food industry over the next five years. How do businesses move forward knowing this? A holistic food safety and traceability approach can include recall readiness, allergen management, quality assurance, lot tracking, and bi-directional ingredient and product tracking.
The right technology can provide the visibility, accountability, and traceability management your business needs to ensure you’re delivering safe, high-quality products. During this webinar, industry experts from both Aptean and Adroit will discuss how food and beverage-specific technology can help shape a holistic approach to food safety and traceability for your food and beverage business.
