4 Establishing International Trust in Food Safety 85-90% of Hawaii s food comes from outside the State The cold chain is a critical aspect of food safety The Food Safety Modernization Act requires international solutions Delayed shipments mean spoilage, shrinkage and lost money RFID temperature tracking provides critical corrective action information

5 FARM USHI9Y4 Pesticides and Chemical Fertilizers Microbial Unknowns Distribution Center Restaurant Water Soil Produce Retailer Samples Primary Risk Assessment (1) Lab Analysis Food Supply Chain Traceability System (2) Site Visit Risk Assessment Real-Time Biosensors & Temp/Hum Sensors (4) QAD State Inspectors Food Safety Certification (3) VBA Marketing Capabilities State Hosted System (5) Public ID # Access USHI9Y4 System Reports

6 Hawaii RFID Produce Traceability and Food Safety : Some History Farm to Distribution to Retail RFID 1 st in the Nation Pallet and Case Level Passive RFID Motorola readers-globe Ranger Software Lowry Integration

7 First Project Implementation Phase I: Pilot RFID Test Motorola readers-globe Ranger Software Lowry Integration A month pilot test of an RFID system at small volume production Farm Distribution- Retail (produce pallet and case) B. The first (Award Winning) RFID Farm-to-Retail pilot in the U.S. C. RFID lab established Recession/Depression Hits No money at Fed or State Levels to continue Along comes Asia Pallet Pooling/Global Tracking Systems (2010)

8 Pilot Project Issues Costs (Hardware, Integration, Software, Tags) Technical Complexity Requires a new type of employee on the technical side.

9 Mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, papaya, pineapple

10 Changes 2011 and Into the Future Reader, software costs greatly reduced (reader chips) Bar Code replaces RFID at case level ($.007) Intelleflex BAP temperature sensors replace passive tags at the pallet level (reusable, long read range, etc.) Plastic pallets replace wood for food safety (APP) International food safety concerns arise (cold chain) Much lower cost, sustainable, easier implementation at the farm level but serves rapid electronic based recall

11 The Food Safety Enhancement Act Sanitary Transportation The delivery of safe food Enhancing Tracking and Tracing of Food and Recordkeeping Provisions for secure electronic data sharing Temperature Controls for Produce Food Safety Title III: Improving the Safety of Imported Food Foreign supplier verification program. Voluntary qualified importer program. Authority to require import certifications for food. Prior notice of imported food shipments. Building food safety capacity of foreign governments Inspection of foreign food facilities. Accreditation of third-party auditors. Foreign offices of the Food and Drug Administration. Smuggled food.

12 Asia and Food Safety Planning China: Establish a system to track in and out GS1 Hong Kong eztrack funded by the Chinese Government GS1 Hong Kong working with Global Tracking Systems and Asia Pallet Pooling Taiwanese government and RFID Goal We re number 1!
