"As a leading importer, exporter, manufacturer, and distributor
of quality seafood from the US and around the world, Beaver Street
Fisheries is unwavering in our commitment to delivering safe,
traceable products to our customers," said Scott Lane, Chief Information Officer at Beaver
Street Fisheries. By partnering with iFoodDS, we are exploring
solutions with our FSMA 204 Compliance Team and taking a
significant step towards creating a safer, more transparent supply
chain to meet both our customer and regulatory requirements. This
collaboration allows us to test flexible and practical options that
our supplier network can easily implement, further enhancing the
trust and assurance in our products."
To ensure a traceability system that meets the needs of all
suppliers, iFoodDS is working with seafood traceability solution
providers Wholechain and ThisFish on the Beaver Street Fisheries
project. iFoodDS has designed a traceability platform that not only
eases the FSMA 204 compliance burden but also integrates with other
systems and adopts industry standards such as GS1, enabling
flexibility and interoperability. The collaboration between
iFoodDS, Wholechain, and This Fish will advance seafood
traceability by giving suppliers options and ensuring that whatever
method or software provider they use to capture data required by
FSMA 204 can be shared across the supply chain through the iFoodDS
platform.
"At iFoodDS, our team excels in partnering with large-scale
enterprises with a diverse network of suppliers," said Scott Mathews, CEO of iFoodDS. "As the only
traceability platform with a proven, interoperable, and scalable
solution, iFoodDS can make FSMA 204 compliance easy for Beaver
Street Fisheries and its supplier partners."
