Overview
Traceability & Recall
Recent product recalls in produce (Tomatoes, Cantaloupes, Spinach, Green Onions, Ginger), sea food, prepared foods(Beef Patties), consumer goods (Toothpaste), drugs (Heparin, Vioxx) and medical devices (Pacemakers, Stents) have shaken consumer’s faith in food and drug supply chains. As a result, many companies today are one safety incidence away from hefty government regulation or even financial collapse.
Response time is of essence during these unpredictable crises. Inability to pinpoint sources of contamination and timely location of tainted products in the distribution chain can further deteriorate brand image and run up the costs of recall.
