The food production and supply chains are becoming increasingly global due to geographically dispersed suppliers of ingredients, raw materials and manufacturing facilities.
With growing concerns about food quality and safety, policy makers enforce various regulations and issue directives, including related to efficient product recalls. GS1 India works with government and industry bodies to enable the food sector overcome these challenges and ensure compliance with Regulatory requirements to provide safe and quality food to consumers.
