Food Traceability: Supply Chain's Feast or Famine
Supply Chain Digest
Share
Over the past few years, security precautions have been put in place to protect this country from domestic and international terrorists, health-related outbreaks, and even financial shenanigans among others. In spite of that, however, the most important pipeline -- the food supply -- has mostly been ignored and even neglected. The European Union has had food traceability regulations in place since 2005 with the U.S. taking a less-than-direct approach with voluntary, mostly
arbitrary programs. With the U.S. Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 (HR 2749) having already passed the House and a similar Senate version (S510) on the fast track, mandated, system-wide traceability is coming. While food safety may be the catalyst, the benefits extend beyond food safety and into the supply chain by increasing visibility, and potentially long-term profitability.
