Food solutions company SpartanNash has announced the launch of the ReposiTrak Traceability Network, a food traceability program that advances efforts to create a safer, more transparent supply chain. Now, hundreds of the company’s suppliers who harvest or handle products on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Traceability List are now required to exchange traceability data with SpartanNash and the thousands of retailers served by the company.
“From a food safety perspective, there is tremendous value in knowing exactly where each product and ingredient has been before it reaches our shelves and consumers,” said SpartanNash Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety Greg Molloy, who is also responsible for the company’s food safety and quality compliance.
The SpartanNash global supply chain network serves wholesale customers that include independent and chain grocers, national retail brands, ecommerce platforms, and U.S. military commissaries and exchanges, according to the company. Additionally, SpartanNash supplies its own brick-and-mortar stores, pharmacies and fuel centers.
