At FoodLogiQ, we often get the question, “How can I be prepared and ready to respond when an outbreak or recall affects our organization?” Mock recalls are a great way to prepare for a live recall, because they allow your organization to practice, test and improve processes to ensure you are prepared for a live event.

FoodLogiQ Connect's Recall + Response solution empowers organizations to respond to food withdrawals and recalls with speed and accuracy. It also offers the ability to test recall effectiveness with unlimited mock recalls. The features and functionality utilized during a live recall are the exact features and functionality used when conducting mock recalls.

Food Allergen Labeling: Getting it Right Through Supply Chain Transparency

It’s likely you know at least one American who has a food allergy. According to a recent study by the JAMA Network Open, one in ten US adults (10.8 percent) has a food allergy and far more (nearly 19 percent) believe they are food allergic. Previous statistics by the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) estimates that 15 million Americans, including 5.9 million children under the age of 18, have food allergies. Proper allergen labeling is, therefore, a big issue in the food industry, as it protects the millions of people who have adverse reactions to certain food ingredients.
