Introduction
The future of our food security relies on our current actions towards intelligent food supply chain management. Global concerns about food safety and health have led to increasing pressure for food testing and certification, which is why standards such as ISO 22000 have become required.
According to the report findings, stringent food regulatory norms, governments subsidising the cost of testing and certification, and the need to add credibility to label claims – are all acting as proponents for the adoption of food testing and certification across the globe.
Apart from these factors, the rising interests of consumers in environmental preservation and food safety are also driving the demand for fair trade and sustainability food certification.

The ‘World-Trace’ Initiative
Credibility is of great importance for consumers before making a purchase decision. The need of the hour is to set up an effective system of monitoring for the production, processing, distribution, and import of food products. It comes after a series of health scares in different countries of the European Union.
A certification body like bio.inspecta in collaboration with CIED technologies can quickly identify the stage where they could breach different regulations. These regulations required during food processing are of the utmost importance in detecting the causes and reasons of hypothetical outbreaks of poisoning and contamination.
‘World-Trace‘ is a modern supply chain solution offered by bio.inspecta to ensure traceability of products in the food supply chain.
In this case study you will discover how traceability necessitates establishing product integrity, authenticity, and identification at all stages of a supply chain, including food inspection and certification, to build consumer confidence.
