About the research

As different traceability regulations and legislations roll out across the globe – from FSMA 204 to EUDR - why does the food sector still feel conflicted about integrating supply chain transparency into its daily processes?

We surveyed 500 industry professionals across the US and the UK to ask them about:
  • readiness for upcoming compliance deadlines
  • where they are in the digital adoption journey
  • the blockers and challenges with traceability
We also got input from five industry experts who specialise in food supply chain traceability to gain their added insight about our survey findings.  
Here are the results.
