Pilot assesses ways to ensure full traceability of marine by-products in the UK UK consultancy, HSSMI, and marine ingredients standards body, MarinTrust, undertook a three-month study, with kickoff in December last year, to determine the feasibility of implementing a system to promote full traceability of marine by-products in the UK.
The MarinTrust and HSSMI run seafood traceability (SeaTrace) pilot project is funded by the UK Seafood Innovation Fund (SIF), which is administered by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) on behalf of the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
The hope is that such rigorous traceability would add value to by-products, discards from the processing of fish for human consumption, such as heads, viscera, skin, bones, which, in the UK market, constitute the bulk of raw materials for the production of fishmeal and fish oil, Francisco Aldon, CEO, MarinTrust, told us.

FDA Proposes New Traceability Rule For Food Manufacturers
The FDA is proposing a new traceability rule for food manufacturers, as well as those who process, pack or hold foods on the Food Traceability List to help identify recipients of those foods quickly to help mitigate foodborne illness outbreaks. In the past few years, the government has blamed their inability to find the sources of foods that have caused outbreaks on traceability issues. This rule would be part of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA).
The proposed rule is called Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods. It is a key component of the FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint. The comments periods for the proposed rule and information collection provisions have been extended until February 22, 2021.

In 2021, large and fast-growing restaurant brands must have well-defined and precise policies, procedures, processes, and systems in place to effectively manage their supply chains, monitor food safety and quality, ensure worker and workplace safety, and drive consistent location performance and compliance. Unlike the early days of restaurant operations, when manual processes and record keeping were enough, today’s leading restaurant chains rely on modern technology platforms and digital tools to execute their daily routines, and for monitoring, tracking and reporting on performance. Without these technology solutions, they face the risk of delivering a degraded customer experience and potentially incurring long-term damage to their brand reputation.
