Problems Everyone Has With INTEGRATED FOOD SAFETY SYSTEM (IFSS) – How To Solved Them

Author: Adam Fleming

There is no doubt that blockchain is one of the technologies that are going to change the future of money and business. Blockchain is, in simple terms, a method by which every transaction is accounted for and taken as original. It allows no duplication of any transaction, however small or big. Needless to say, this has unimaginable consequences for the future of finance.

While this is the good news about blockchain, the better news is that finance is not the only area in which blockchain can be put to use. Food safety is among the many areas that can benefit in terrific ways from blockchain. A webinar from Compliance4All, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will explain how a basic invoice level blockchain can be used to build an integrated food safety system (IFFS) that requires supply chain players to meet contractual business and food safety requirements to establish a finance-based chain of custody systems.

John Ryan, who, for more than three decades has been an expert in the areas of manufacturing, food, transportation and the Internet, will be the speaker at this session on understanding blockchain as a means to resolve problems with Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS).

At this session, which is essentially about blockchain as a means to resolve problems with Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS), Dr. Ryan will explain to the participants the ways in which blockchain impacts the food industry and the extent to which food safety and quality inputs to the invoicing system could determine the financial aspects of a company in this domain.

He will describe the many concepts of this domain where blockchain could make a major impact, such as chain of custody, smart contracts, and Hyperledger. He will help participants understand how their business could get influenced by these concepts and how they can prepare to fulfill input requirements.

Dr. Ryan will also explain how inputs to blockchain will offer payers the opportunity to designate and comply with multiple contractual requirements at all stages of the food safety system, right from the farm through transportation, distribution, processing, packing and into customers. The ways in which blockchain works in all these sections will be described.

He will also show how blockchain can help lower risk levels and calculate probable supply chain failure points in the event of recalls, and how traceability in this technology can hasten a recall and limit its impact.

Dr. Ryan will cover the following areas at this session:

  • Understand Blockchain Basics (What is blockchain?)
  • Understand chain of custody
  • What are "smart contracts"
  • Understand "Hyperledger"
  • Find out who is using blockchain
  • Food Provenance as a new way of looking at food safety
  • Know how your company will be impacted
  • Prepare to fulfill input requirements
  • Understand Fraud prevention
  • Review what is in store for Integrated Food Safety Systems (IFSS)
  • Prepare your company to meet new traceability and supply chain requirements
  • Learn how your food safety data will be required to predict your potential for recall
  • See how blockchain fits into international and U.S. legal requirements
  • Understand the impact that blockchain and chain of custody will have on your business
  • Understand risk ranking and where your company fits in the supply chain.
