Zebra Technologies Corporation has announced its new line of environmental sensors, including the new ZS300 sensor, ZB200 Bridge, and Android Sensor Discovery app.  

 Part of Food Safety Magazine’s series with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), titled, “Evolution of a New Era: Advancing Strategies for Smarter Food Safety,” this episode of Food Safety Matters discusses improving traceability and transparency in the food supply chain through the implementation of the Final Food Traceability Rule, as mandated by Congress under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Section 204. We are joined by Adam Friedlander, Policy Analyst in FDA’s Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network, and Joseph Lasprogata, Vice President of New Product Development at Samuels Seafood.

A recent study analyzing food allergen recalls in the UK from 2016–2021 has revealed allergens to be the most prevalent cause, and milk to be the most commonly implicated allergen.

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we review the top food safety stories of 2022 and their impacts, the lessons learned, and what the future may hold in 2023 and beyond. Specifically, we discuss COVID-19 and the supply chain, FDA’s Agricultural Water Proposed Rule, food safety culture, the infant formula crisis, USDA-FSIS’ proposed regulatory framework for reducing Salmonella in poultry, the FSMA Food Traceability Final Rule, and the Reagan-Udall Foundation’s review of FDA’s Human Foods Program.

Global seafood company Haven Foods has joined the ReposiTrak Traceability Network® to enable full end-to-end traceability within its supply chain.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a four-hour webinar to give stakeholders an in-depth overview of the newly issued final rule on Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods (Food Traceability Final Rule).

To comply with the FSMA 204 Traceability Final Rule, a major retailer in the U.S. Midwest has enlisted the services of ReposiTrak’s Traceability Network.

Domestic mutual reliance, part of FDA's New Era for Smarter Food Safety initiative, is a key component of the Integrated Food Safety System. It enables FDA and states with comparable regulatory systems to rely on each other for a safer national food supply. Three additional states have recently formalized domestic mutual reliance partnerships with FDA to advance collaborative activities to help ensure continued access to safe foods.

Australian supermarket chain Coles is using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to digitize and make traceable its entire poultry cold chain.

Robust food traceability systems serve several roles in advancing food safety and sustainability. Traceability systems are inherently collaborative and require all members of a product supply chain to collect, store, and share data.
