Benefits of Traceability
Risks to food safety exist throughout the entire supply chain, and consumers are demanding more information about their food. It’s more critical than ever to standardize the identification of products and locations to know exactly where they’re going, understand where they’ve been, and share this information effectively. This traceability prepares companies to act quickly to supply chain disruptions, like recalls, so they can minimize food waste and revenue loss.
How GS1 Standards Can Help
The first step in enabling this traceability is having visibility into your supply chain. Suppliers, distributors, trade associations, and more are collaborating with GS1 US to power greater confidence in food safety and traceability through GS1 Standards.
