Why read this guide?
This thought leadership piece, authored by Caddy CEO Ron Leung in partnership with Venturepark Labs—a leader in supporting early-stage food and beverage manufacturers across Canada—explores why digital traceability is no longer optional in today’s food industry.
The food and beverage sector is under increasing pressure from tightening regulations, rising consumer expectations for transparency, and evolving retailer demands. A single misstep in traceability can lead to costly recalls, supply chain disruptions, and damage to brand reputation.
