Food & Beverage Traceability

Farm-to-shelf traceability and recall readiness using open Signal Tags verification patterns.

Industry problem

Food safety recalls demand rapid lot-level verification and transparent supply context. Disconnected systems slow response time and increase waste.

How Signal Tags helps

Use stable schema fields with metadata extensions for harvest_date, origin_location, and certifications.

Regulatory context

• FSMA (US)
• EU food safety frameworks

Technical guidance only; not legal advice.

Code example

const produceTag = {
  id: 'st_01FOOD001',
  status: 'in_transit',
  productId: 'produce_blueberries_6oz',
  organizationId: 'org_farm_coop',
  createdAt: '2026-03-08T05:20:00Z',
  lotId: 'LOT-BB-0308',
  metadata: {
    harvest_date: '2026-03-07',
    origin_location: 'Salinas, CA',
    certifications: ['GlobalG.A.P.', 'USDA Organic'],
  },
}

Loop Engine integration

Contamination alerts can trigger a recall loop with hold, notification, and verification steps.
