Retailers drive increased focus on food safety and traceability as 40 new suppliers enter the queue to join the ReposiTrak Traceability Network

SALT LAKE CITY: ReposiTrak (NYSE:TRAK), the world’s largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, leveraging its established inventory management and out-of-stock reduction SaaS platform, is proud to add 40 retail food suppliers to the queue of companies joining the ReposiTrak Traceability Network® (RTN). These companies will efficiently exchange intricate, FDA-required Key Data Elements (KDEs) for each Critical Tracking Event (CTE) in their supply chains, with the goal of meeting the growing traceability demands of their retail customers.

Several of the 40 new food suppliers bring decades of experience and innovation. One is the third-largest tea bag brand in the world, England-based and founded more than 180 years ago, bringing tremendous experience and expertise to the industry. Another is a Los Angeles-based company specializing in Japanese-inspired mochi ice cream, known for combining sweet rice dough with ice cream in a variety of flavors. A third, founded nearly 50 years ago, is a leading U.S. confectionery company known for developing successful sour candy and licorice brands that are sold across major retail channels.

“Data accuracy is the foundation of effective traceability,” stated Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “Every supplier has the data. However, every supplier’s data originates in a different system in a different format. ReposiTrak takes in the data from anywhere and validates it for accuracy before it gets to the retailer, wholesaler or foodservice operator. It is how we turn complexity into traceability.”

The ReposiTrak Traceability Network requires no additional hardware or software and the ReposiTrak team assists in making the connections needed under the new regulation. Suppliers can connect to an unlimited number of trading partners and share data for a low, flat fee.
