The food safety environment has been unstable in recent years, with disruptions in the supply chain, workforce shortages, and an increase in food and beverage recalls. Fortunately, industry stakeholders are adapting and responding quickly to these issues, potentially changing the food safety environment for years. Technology is a powerful tool that helps improve food safety by enabling stakeholders to promptly detect and respond to potential food safety risks. By adopting the right technology, stakeholders can ensure compliance with the new FSMA Final Rule and provide safe and healthy food to consumers.
Blockchain technology offers a transparent and immutable way to track food products from farm to fork, enabling swift tracing of contaminated products and facilitating targeted recalls. This transparency dovetails seamlessly with the Internet of Things (IoT), which deploys sensors to monitor critical parameters in real time, such as temperature and contamination levels, allowing for early detection of anomalies and proactive risk management. Additionally, DNA barcoding provides a potent tool for verifying the authenticity and origin of food products, complementing the traceability offered by blockchain. Artificial intelligence (AI) rounds out this suite of technologies by revolutionizing quality control processes and ensuring higher food safety standards through predictive analysis and optimization.
