RFID-based traceability and tracking solutions for perishable fruits and vegetables are being created by Food Safe International and DTG Industries, using iPico's dual frequency RFID tags, readers and middleware in perishable containers.
Following the recent signing of a letter of intent between the two companies, Food Safe is to work with DTG on solutions that will provide full traceability of perishable fruits and vegetables from the farm field to the retail shelf.
The two companies will then market their solution to global food producers in an effort to create an integrated food-source management, marketing, source verification system, and food safety process from the producer to the consumer.
"We are intrigued by Food Safe's unique solution for safeguarding perishables and we look forward to working with Food Safe and major US grocery retailers and third party providers in offering a complete and reliable traceability solution," said Gordon Westwater, president of iPico North America.
"With the recent influx of 'mad cow disease' and Avian bird flu in North America, there is a heightened awareness of the need for complete and accurate tracking and traceability for all food products that make it to our shelves," he added.
