Mid-size and enterprise food companies are accelerating the adoption of AI-native traceability to improve compliance, recall response, and supply chain visibility.
FoodReady, a leading provider of AI-powered food safety, compliance, and traceability software, announced today that its AI-native traceability platform is now live in hundreds of food and beverage manufacturing facilities across North America and beyond. With customers including major brands such as DOLE, FoodReady’s traceability software is helping companies meet regulatory demands, reduce recall response time, and gain real-time supply chain visibility.
“Our goal is to eliminate the complexity of traceability in the food industry,” said Gerry Galloway, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of FoodReady. “Traceability shouldn’t be an afterthought or an audit panic button. It should be built into the daily workflow, powered by AI, and accessible in real time from receiving to shipping.”
Transforming Food Traceability with AI
FoodReady’s traceability engine includes full lot tracking, real-time inventory movement, and centralized documentation for compliance with FSMA 204 and global certification schemes like SQF and BRCGS. The system supports ingredient-to-finished-goods traceability, complete with Key Data Element (KDE) tracking and automated traceability logs.
FoodReady’s mobile-first approach ensures that traceability data is captured and validated by production and QA teams on the shop floor. Its built-in ERP capabilities connect traceability with supplier management, inventory control, and batch monitoring.
Rapid Adoption Driven by FSMA 204 and Audit Demands
As regulatory complexity grows, especially with FSMA 204 enforcement on the horizon, food companies are under pressure to modernize traceability systems. In the last 12 months, FoodReady has seen a 2X increase in customers deploying its traceability modules, particularly in produce, RTE meals, seafood, and meat processing.
Customers report significant time savings during audits and increased confidence in their recall readiness. “Our lot tracking and recall prep went from hours to minutes,” noted one QA manager at a ready-to-eat facility. “FoodReady made it effortless.”
Looking Ahead
FoodReady plans to expand its traceability ecosystem with more integrations and AI-powered tools, including automated KDE validation, smart recall simulations, and predictive supply chain analytics. As AI continues to reshape compliance and operations, FoodReady remains focused on helping the food industry stay ahead of regulatory and consumer demands.
