About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

Rabobank Report: U.S. Food Safety in Fresh Produce

DateTuesday, August 26, 2008 at 8:50PM

Below is a link to a Rabobank America audio podcast posted on August 13, 2008. Here is an introduction to that podcast.

Without a nationwide traceability system in the U.S. for fruits and vegetables, identifying food contamination sources has been slow, inaccurate and difficult. Recent outbreaks have threatened public health and damaged the image and sales in the fresh produce industry, according to Rabobank’s “U.S. Food Safety in Fresh Produce” report.

“Several factors play a role in the severity and awareness of food contamination outbreaks in the fresh produce sector: media, increasing consumption, imports of fresh produce and changing population demographics,” said Marieke de Rijke, assistant vice president in food and agriculture research at Rabobank Group, who examines U.S. food safety in the report and podcast.

Here is the link to the 7m 50s podcast entitled New Rabobank Report, Podcast Inspect(s) U.S. Food Safety.
