gs1Finally! According to this press release, it appears the effort to create a single identifier (like a UPC in retail) recognized by all foodservice trading partners finally has acheived critical mass in the USA. Implemented correctly, it should:

  • Drive waste out of the foodservice supply chain;
  • Improve product information for customers
  • Establish a foundation for improving food safety and traceability

    • And create the opportunity to display all product characteristics on the Foodservice Rewards participating products pages.
