The new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) recently passed by Congress will have a seismic impact on the global food supply chain by requiring much greater accountability from farm to table. Supply chain visibility, though not explicitly written into the law, is the final requisite of the law. Companies must now be able at any time to check inventory across their entire network—suppliers, warehouses and in-transit inventory included—down to lot numbers. By acting quickly to put the right technology solutions in place, companies can achieve the level of supply chain visibility to ensure food safety and compliance with the FSMA.
