In order to mitigate and prevent foodborne illnesses, the food and beverage industry has to go beyond modernizing systems for food recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts. The industry must transform to provide real-time, end-to-end visibility of entire supply chains in order to safeguard the public.

And the imperative is now. Upcoming legislation, including the US FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) that goes into effect on January 6, 2026, means F&B businesses will need to comply with new traceability rules to prove compliance and successfully undergo third-party audits.

OPTEL’s proven suite of intelligent supply chain solutions for the food and beverage industry, Optchain™ , provides growers, producers, manufacturers, processors and retailers with the tools they need to gain complete real-time supply chain visibility—no matter where a food product is landed, from farm to fork.
