Trustwell partners with Kwik Lok for point-of-sale consumer traceability data, enabling product safety, regulatory compliance and consumer trust.

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scan. Trace. Trust. 

Trustwell, a food industry technology pioneer and comprehensive traceability solutions provider is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Kwik Lok, the global leader in bag closures for point-of-sale consumer traceability data. This collaboration will provide customers with a comprehensive suite of tools to ensure product safety, regulatory compliance for FSMA and Sunrise 2027, and consumer trust along with unprecedented opportunity for marketing and branding.

By combining Kwik Lok's closure labels with the advanced data capabilities of Trustwell's FoodLogiQ Traceability software, we are offering a more robust solution for food manufacturers, distributors and retailers.

THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL ENABLE BUSINESSES TO:

• Scan to Enhance Product Safety: Placing a two-dimensional code on a Kwik Lok closure label at the time of product packing which will help identify and address potential risks at the item level throughout the supply chain, ensuring that products meet the highest safety standards.
• Streamline Tracing and Simpler Regulatory Compliance: Our combined offerings simplify tracing compliance with complex food safety regulations such as FSMA and Sunrise 2027, reducing the burden on businesses and minimizing the risk of costly recalls. Customers already using Kwik Lok closing machines may already be "label ready" cutting down on the cost of compliance.
• Build Consumer Trust: By providing greater transparency into the supply chain, we help businesses build trust with consumers and foster long-term loyalty.
• Expand Marketing and Branding: Open up branding and promotional opportunities to help grow cart size.

"We are excited and proud to partner with Kwik Lok on one of the most impactful traceability efforts to move the industry forward," Katy Jones, CEO of Trustwell said. "At Trustwell, we envision a future where traceability data can be leveraged at every point along the farm-to-fork journey to build safer, more sustainable food supply chains, meet modern traceability requirements, and provide consumers with the information they need to feed their families. We see this partnership as an ideal opportunity to bring Trustwell's data-forward approach and industry-leading FoodLogiQ Traceability software together with Kwik Lok's established track record for innovation, moving one step closer to that future."

KEY BENEFITS OF THE PARTNERSHIP:

• End-to-End Visibility: Gain complete visibility into your supply chain, from packing to the consumer's table.
• Efficient Recall Management: Reduce the time and costs associated with recalls by using your two-dimensional code on a Kwik Lok closure label along with Trustwell's streamlined data processes.
• Expert Support: Benefit from Kwik Lok's and Trustwell's team of experts who provide guidance and support to ensure successful implementation and ongoing use.
