A supplier risk assessment may be accurate the day it’s completed. But will it still reflect reality three months later?

Supplier conditions change. Quality incidents accumulate. Recalls happen. Sourcing relationships shift. External events can introduce new exposure overnight.

That’s why food supply chain risk management can’t rely on point-in-time assessments alone.

On our latest blog, we explore six ways your risk profile can change between reviews, and how connected data, continuous monitoring, and AI-supported analysis can help food safety teams identify meaningful changes sooner.

Customization has become a defining part of the QSR experience. But when a guest swaps a protein, removes a topping, or changes a portion, does the nutrition information keep up?

Dynamic nutrition can make sure it does.

By bringing responsive nutrient information directly into digital ordering experiences, QSR brands can give guests greater visibility into the meal they’re actually building—while making better use of the recipe and nutrition data teams already maintain.

See why dynamic nutrition is becoming an important part of the modern QSR experience, and how Genesis NutriLive can help.

Food safety documentation is the foundation of audit readiness, regulatory compliance, and a strong food safety program. For many US food businesses, six documents form a practical starting point:

• HACCP Plan
• Food Safety Plan
• Standard Operating Procedures
• Food Traceability Plan
• Allergen Management Plan
• Supplier Approval Program

Having these documents is only part of the equation, though! They also need to reflect current operations, connect clearly to supporting records, and be easy for your team to retrieve when an auditor, regulator, or customer asks.

Our latest blog breaks down what each document should cover and what makes food safety documentation truly audit-ready.

Could your team retrieve the right traceability records in 24 hours?

It’s a simple question, not to mention a revealing test of how well your data, systems, suppliers and processes work together when the clock is ticking.

In our latest blog, we break down the 24-Hour Traceability Test and the warning signs that can slow teams down, from disconnected records and inconsistent identifiers to unclear ownership and supplier data gaps.

See how your traceability program would perform under pressure, and where you may have opportunities to strengthen recall readiness and FSMA 204 preparation.

When a food safety issue emerges, speed and visibility matter.

Bloomberg’s coverage of the Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños offers a look at how Chipotle put both into practice.

The company began switching suppliers at impacted restaurants on July 20, well before the broader nationwide recall unfolded, and the article explores some of the infrastructure supporting its response — including Trustwell's FoodLogiQ Traceability and FoodLogiQ Recall solutions.

In an August 5 statement the company said its ingredient traceability system helped identify jalapeños from a common lot, determine which restaurants had received them, proactively remove the product, and replace it with jalapeños from different growers.

That kind of speed doesn't happen by accident.

It's possible thanks to the people, processes and systems Chipotle has invested (and tested) in over time.

This commitment to food safety preparedness gave its teams the visibility to understand where an ingredient had moved and the ability to act as the situation developed.

For food safety leaders, that’s a lesson worth paying attention to.

How resilient is your manufacturing strategy if one partner goes offline?

In this Food Tech Talk: Supply Chain Insights from Farm to Fork segment, Katy Jones, CEO of Trustwell, speaks with Scotty Palmer, founder of Palmer's Strategic Advisors, about the risks of relying on a single co-manufacturer.

Scotty shares a real-world example of a company that lost access to its primary production partner and, as a result, lost a major account. The impact reduced annual revenue from several million dollars to under $1 million.

The lesson is clear: secondary manufacturing relationships should be established before a disruption occurs.
