## Problem Food recalls pose significant health risks and compliance challenges for retailers and consumers alike. The lack of efficient traceability systems makes it difficult to quickly identify the source of contamination and manage recalls effectively. ## Target Audience Food retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers, particularly those operating in the grocery and health food sectors, who are required to comply with stringent food safety regulations. Demographics include small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations focused on food production and distribution. ## Why Now With increasing food safety regulations such as FSMA 204 and recent high-profile food recalls, the demand for effective traceability solutions is at an all-time high.
