HarvestMark showcased in latest McKinsey & Company/GS1 White Paper

The fresh foods industry recognizes the importance of traceability and food safety, yet some sectors are further along than others in implementing whole-chain traceability processes.

At one time, respected brand names were all the assurance the buying public needed. This is no longer the case.

Food Traceability Apps

As we become more involved in the foods we eat and where they come from, wouldn't it make sense to merge this sensibility with the one piece of technology that we carry with us everywhere?
