Bharatbook.com has added this latest report “Food Safety and Traceability Strategies: Key hazards, risks and technological developments” to their extensive collection of market research reports. Food safety is and remains a top ten concern for food manufacturers and other food businesses. But a series of major food poisoning outbreaks and contamination incidents over the last three years have served to focus the attention of the media, consumer groups and enforcement authorities worldwide on the activities of the food industry as never before.
This critical environment is set to become a key driver for food businesses to strengthen the measures they take to ensure the safety and traceability of their products. The pressure to introduce more robust systems and technologies is growing as the requirements of legislation and the demands of key customers continue to expand.
Conversely, while industry safety practices may be under the spotlight, the growing demands on businesses may also present an opportunity. Early adoption of developing technologies and systems for managing food safety and traceability can demonstrate corporate responsibility and commitment to the protection of consumers and shareholders. For some businesses, a visibly responsible attitude to food safety is set to become an asset, which has the potential to deliver added value and competitiveness, if communicated effectively.
This report brings together the major food safety challenges currently facing food businesses and the complex driving forces being applied to the industry. These drivers are then related to some important technologies and systems being developed to enhance the management of food safety and traceability. Those technologies are analysed and compared in terms of their likely impact. The potential for change presented by key future developments is examined and a framework for a business strategy to cope with growing demands for food safety and traceability is presented.

Key Market Issues
• The key threats to food safety and their sources can be identified, but threats can also arise from unexpected directions. How can businesses best prepare themselves for rapidly emerging threats?
• Many technologies have been developed and marketed with a view to enhancing food safety, but which of them have the potential to provide real business benefits in the long term?
• The potential role of ‘smart packaging’ in food safety is much hyped, but the real benefits may be limited by current technology. The development of nanotechnology applications is set to alter the equation dramatically.
• Pressure to improve the traceability of products in the food supply chain beyond current legal requirements is growing. Will the technologies currently available, or close to market, make this possible?
