The SQF Unites Conference was great and well attended, with a strong focus on building a positive food safety culture, doing the right thing when no one is looking, and taking a collaborative approach to building strong teams. One of the hottest topics? FSMA 204. The session was standing room only, with great questions from the audience. Hilary Thesmar and Liz Sertl did an excellent job breaking down what it takes to tackle this huge undertaking for the food industry and move toward compliance. #foodsafety #FSMA #FSMA204 #foodsafetymatters #technology #datasharing Starfish

At Starfish, we serve as a neutral data-sharing layer, enhancing existing systems rather than replacing them. #Interoperability is at the core of what we do, enabling businesses to exchange traceability data across platforms and trading partners—regardless of their technology stack. With the FSMA compliance deadline fast approaching, the demand for interconnected, transparent, and collaborative supply chains has never been greater. The future is here, and it’s about breaking down barriers to build smarter, more resilient supply chains. #traceability #foodsafety #supplychain #FSMA

From Farm to Fork: The Logistics Behind Food Safety and Traceability The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance deadline is approaching quickly, giving companies less than a year to meet new #foodsafety and #traceability requirements. But beyond compliance, why does traceability matter?

Inconsistent #data and lack of #interoperability are some of the biggest challenges companies face in food traceability. Starfish addresses these challenges by enabling secure, seamless data sharing across the #supplychain. Tune in to hear #FSMA 204 explained and discover solutions to help companies stay compliant. #GS1USPod
