Food safety is evolving with advances in technology.

Food monitoring for a long time has been unclear, and authorities are always on the lookout for ways to enforce strict standards for food safety. So what are the top food safety trends that ensure our food safety?

FREMONT, CA:  Food safety has been on the agenda of different food authorities for protecting food. Food monitoring for a long time onwards has been unclear, and the authorities are continuously on the lookout for ways to enforce strict standards for food safety. Food safety will look like in 2020, and the trends driving the change need to be noted.

Dining Trends

The percentage of people eating outside has considerably increased. It's great news for the food and beverage industry. However, it challenges the restaurant to serve more customers and suppliers to offer more fresh ingredients. Maintaining food safety and procurement of fresh foods is challenging. More organizations are turning towards automation to tackle this issue.

Supply Chain

After the horsemeat scandal, customers demand a high level of traceability on what they eat. In addition, customers are always looking for fresh, healthy, and locally sourced food and ingredients. Most food companies are looking forward to blockchain technology as an easy solution to make the food supply chain traceability possible. Blockchain can track a finished product back to the beginning, which cannot be tampered with. As a result, food suppliers can build trust in their trademark.

Traceability

The horsemeat scandal highlighted concerns around fraud in the food supply chain and demonstrated that customers want traceability of what they prefer to eat. In addition, customers are increasingly looking for healthy, high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Together, this drives a need for greater auditing of supply chains to monitor food from field to fork. In 2020, the food businesses that can vouch for the origins of their food will have a major competitive advantage.
