Making Food Safe and Available with Traceability of Food Packaging by Tetra Pak®

For Tetra Pak, connecting the food industry is becoming increasingly pervasive. Over the next five years, food and beverage companies will seek to gain greater control of their respective supply chain to achieve full traceability of their products all the way to the consumer and increase efficiency and cut costs.

Connected, Traceable Packages is an area with enormous potential Tetra Pak and its customers. Each package can be printed with a unique QR code for product. This can also be deployed in consumer engagement solutions towards end-users, in which case aggregated data is used to ensure the integrity of the user’s personal data. By creating relevant offers and employing data in the right way, new business opportunities are created.

We have identified a great potential in better utilizing the traceability data of our food packages, in order to help our customers gain better control over their supply chain.

In essence, each package produced by Tetra Pak can be printed with a unique QR code for product traceability throughout the value chain to keep track of stock or of sales. Our aim is to co-create innovative solutions with startups to enable traceability along the entire food supply chain and through that, improve quality assurance and increase transparency in the supply chain. For example, we are looking for new solutions in innovative consumer engagement, solutions for counterfeit prevention, and tools for data exchange along the supply chain. Read a few of our examples below bearing in mind your solutions may go above and beyond them, or even be something completely different.
