Irish food firms global ‘leaders’ for trace ability

USE of advanced traceability systems in the agri-food processing chain has helped underpin Ireland’s global reputation for food excellence, says one expert in this technology field.

Gerard Foskin, chief executive of business solutions firm Simply Dynamics, says Irish food companies are leaders both within the EU and globally when it comes to traceability.

Among other services, Simply Dynamics has a shelf-integration software package to manage and report on factory floor production, which it delivers with food technology company Emydex.
