Retailers must adapt to these changes, stay informed about nuanced scenarios and invest in digital platforms to comply with evolving regulations. " Joe Smirlies, Invafresh US. " Wegmans Food Markets uses standards-based data to improve traceability as required, but also takes it beyond FSMA 204. This regional supermarket chain recognizes the importance of standards to simplify data collection and sharing. The company is implementing GDST (Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability) standards, which are based on GS1 Standards, in its seafood supply chains. This approach provides a common language for seafood suppliers to share data, even between different traceability systems. " " Wegmans' adoption of standards allows everyone throughout the supply chain to share data seamlessly using their preferred standardscompliant traceability system, saving time on data cleansing, preventing data loss and eliminating the need to manage multiple systems and data sets. Wegmans and many of its suppliers have chosen to use a blockchain-based traceability solution for seafood. " Making sure your store is FSMAcompliant will need a commitment to detail requiring the coordinated efforts of all team members. 28 - MAY 2024 supermarketperimeter.com Repositrakhttp://www.supermarketperimeter.com
