What It Takes to Become the Technological Leader in the Food Safety Management Industry

Technology has continuously played a large part in the food safety industry. Food safety management technology is even more important to customers, restaurant owners and chefs. Without technology, the foodservice industry would still be relying on outdated manual paper based checklists and lots of guesswork in the data points gathered.

Food safety management technology is more important than ever to the food industry and will continue to be integral in helping all foodservice establishments achieve complete compliance. Many of these advancements wouldn’t be possible without a few key innovators.

Protecting Customers with Tech-Enabled Traceability

Organizations that are in a position to rapidly identify and reduce contamination sources and remove contaminated products from shelves using data visualization and food traceability technologies will also position themselves as leaders in food safety management.

In order to achieve this, a company must understand the benefits of these technologies to their organization and be willing to implement them in their business plan as well as champion them  as part of the overall shift in food safety which is heavily relying on technological advancements.

Adopting New Ways to Handle Outbreaks of Foodborne Illness

Realizing the value and importance of technology in the prevention of and response to foodborne disease outbreaks is an integral part of making  sound business decisions and achieving leadership status.

The adoption of intervention technologies and descriptive analytics to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) in food manufacturing can significantly improve the standard of health, as well as the corrective actions applied to pathogens and outbreaks.

Achieving Proper Food Handling at All Points in the Food Supply Chain

A crucial element of industry leadership lies in food safety through prevention, with a distinct focus on preventing the contamination of foods, from farm to table.

Food processing technology that assists organizations with food sterilization, training and certification, digital hand hygiene reminders, and temperature monitoring are smarter tools that every leader must include in their business model.

Cultivating a Culture of Food Safety

The technology used by industry leaders can help with the identification of barriers and opportunities with regard to food safety management.  This allows food companies to cultivate a food safety culture that prevents foodborne illness.

Leaders also use technology to educate consumers about the importance and impact of food safety.

 

Pushing for Change in the Food Safety Culture

Businesses and organizations that have consistently pushed for change in the foodservice industry often become industry leaders. They’re the ones who have adopted a new approach to food safety.

What does it mean to be considered a technological leader in food safety?
Simply put, it requires thinking outside the box. Some of the biggest technological advancements in the food industry today include:

  • Scannable packaging that informs on where the ingredients originated
  • Digital supply chain management
  • Wireless temperature monitoring
  • Automated workflow checklists

One significant innovation in the digitalization of food safety has been the digital checklist. A restaurant food safety checklist is nothing new, but when restaurants chose the pen and paper checklists of the past, there was always room for human error. Automated digital checklists eliminate that possibility, allowing businesses to set strategies based on reliable data and as a result – become leaders in their competitive niche.
