- GREAT to see Sysco’s (the world’s largest food distributor) commitment to #foodtraceability. Working collaboratively with @iFoodDS they’ll educate & bring their network along to create a more traceable & transparent food system. Well done. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/08/19/2932464/2867/en/Sysco-Leading-the-Industry-in-FSMA-Food-Traceability-Compliance.html
- What a way to open the inaugural #IFPSS24! @FrankYiannasFDA sharing his balcony level view and experience on the future of a safer, smarter, and more transparent food system. #freshproducesafety #fpscanz
- Great to hear Asst Sec for Exports, Tom Black, with Dept of Ag in Australia discuss importance of food traceability. In a global food system, better food traceability benefits every nation and consumers everywhere. #foodtraceability @FPSC_ANZ
