IFT Report Recommends Collaboration and Innovation to Advance Food Traceability
The report is intended to contribute to discussions about the role of technology in food traceability and provide recommendations on advancing the traceability landscape.
The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) has released a report commissioned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that evaluates food traceability trends based on 90 submissions from teams that participated in FDA’s 2021 Low- or No-Cost Tech-Enabled Traceability Challenge.
Because IFT’s Global Food Traceability Center has played a central role in discussions of traceability for over a decade, FDA determined that IFT was ideally positioned to develop this independent report analyzing recent technological hardware, software and data analytics developments for traceability end users.
