NEWARK, NJ – June 7, 2023 – Today, June 7th is World Food Safety Day, and PLM TrustLink™ is proud to play a role in promoting food safety at the GS1 US Connect Conference in Denver, Colorado. TrustLink™ is a cloud-based IoT management solution designed to enhance automated and touchless operations within supply chain ecosystems.

The theme of this year’s World Food Safety Day is “Food standards save lives.” The focus for 2023 is on the role of established food safety practices and standards which ensure that the food we eat globally is safe to consume. According to the UN, every day, some 1.6 million people worldwide fall ill from eating contaminated food, which kills 420,000 people each year.

Ensuring food safety has become a paramount concern for regulators, the public, and businesses in the food supply chain. The surge in recalls has understandably led to heightened consumer concern about the food they consume and provide to their families. Consequently, there is a rising demand for greater transparency and information regarding the origin and quality of food products.

By incorporating the 3T's - Transparency, Traceability, and Trust - PLM TrustLink™ revolutionizes the cold chain process. It enables brands operating within the supply chain to operate more efficiently. TrustLink™ empowers customers by facilitating the digitization of their physical products and assets, thereby enabling them to comply with food safety regulations and contribute to ensuring safety along the cold supply chain.
