Fresh Produce companies need traceability to consistently improve operating efficiencies and meet regulatory and best practice guidelines. Companies must maintain cost-controlled operations that achieve product traceability throughout their end-to-end supply chain. This requires tightly integrated supply chain execution that includes accurate, real-time data from "farm to fork".
A recall is the ultimate test of your traceability solution’s ability to transfer and maintain accurate data throughout supply chain operations. You will need to be able to take action within hours of a recall. Rapid retrieval of traceability records are the key to helping you meet guidelines and prevent any harm. Your ability to narrow down the scope of the recall will be critical to identifing exactly which products are at issue. You don’t want to incur the cost of recalling all shipments if you can pinpoint only a few products that could be problematic. Mock recalls have shown that a good traceability solution dramatically reduces product identification times.
