Sysco and iFoodDS will partner on a proof-of-concept project to explore solutions that enable Sysco and its supplier base to capture, store and share data required by the Food and Drug Administration’s Food Safety Modernization Act 204 Food Traceability Rule, according to a news release.
“As the global leader in food service, Sysco has a responsibility to ensure compliance solutions can be implemented for use across its broad supplier network,” Charles Leftwich, Sysco’s vice president of food safety and quality assurance, said in the release. “We are pleased to partner with iFoodDS to explore a FSMA 204 compliance solution that creates a safer, more efficient, and transparent food supply chain that is effective for our U.S. supplier partners and our customers.”
Sysco said in the release that its goal is to implement a flexible, scalable, interoperable traceability solution that provides suppliers with flexible and pragmatic options for sharing data required by FSMA 204.
“At iFoodDS, our team excels in partnering with large-scale enterprises with an extensive network of suppliers,” Scott Mathews, CEO of iFoodDS, said in the release. “As the only traceability platform with a proven and scalable solution, iFoodDS can make FSMA 204 compliance easy for Sysco and its broad network of supplier partners.”
