“”The impact of major recalls in the meat industry, combined with serious food-contamination issues, the threat of agroterroism, and class-action lawsuits will cause major corporations to mandate strong surveillance and external auditing of their supply partners. Regulatory-compliance issues featured in the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 and the Country of Origin Labeling Act will also add to the mandated requirements,” says Cheek. “These mandated changes will assure strict compliance in order to market a product at all levels. Total product visibility in the supply chain will be maintained whether in production, processing, storage or transit. Much of that information is available today, but not electronically. Our Web-based system ties that information all together seamlessly.””
