Why food supply chain visibility matters more than ever.

Food fraud, ingredient substitution, and grey market diversion cost the global food industry an estimated USD 40 billion annually. Unit-level serialisation is the only technology that creates a verifiable, scan-based record of every individual product unit - from the production line to the consumer.

ProtectCode serialised QR codes on food and beverage packaging also open a direct consumer channel. Provenance stories, ingredient information, allergen details, and loyalty campaigns - all delivered via the same QR code that serves your supply chain traceability requirements.

Use cases

Food supply chain visibility
use cases.

From dairy to wine, from nutraceuticals to premium packaged foods - ProtectCode is deployed across every food and beverage category.

Premium packaged foods

Provenance claims are only credible when backed by verifiable supply chain data. ProtectCode makes every provenance story scannable and auditable.

Wine and spirits

EU wine e-label requirements, export market monitoring, and vintage authentication - all from one serialised QR code on every bottle.

Nutraceuticals and supplements

Supplement and nutraceutical brands serving export markets need unit-level integrity monitoring. ProtectCode is deployed by Nature's Care and Addera across Asian export markets.

Dairy and fresh produce

Short shelf life products benefit from unit-level cold chain visibility. Track which specific units were scanned where and when throughout the cold chain.

Organic and certified products

Certification claims on organic, sustainable, or specialty products are validated at unit level - not just at brand level.

Export compliance

Geographic scan data provides documentary evidence of genuine distribution for export compliance purposes across APAC, EU, and North American markets.

Common questions answered.

What is food supply chain traceability?

Food supply chain traceability means the ability to identify and track a food product through every stage of production, processing, and distribution. ProtectCode achieves this at the unit level - every individual product carries a unique serialised QR code that records scan data at every touchpoint.

Does ProtectCode meet EU food traceability requirements?

ProtectCode's GS1 Digital Link implementation supports EU digital product passport requirements and EU wine e-label regulations. The DPP infrastructure is built and DPP-ready pending final EU delegated acts expected in 2027.

How does food traceability help with product recalls?

Unit-level serialisation means a recall can target specific production batches, specific distribution channels, or specific geographic regions - rather than entire product lines. This limits the commercial impact of a recall while meeting regulatory requirements.

Can ProtectCode deliver consumer-facing provenance information?

Yes. The same QR code that captures supply chain data also serves as the consumer interface. Scan the code and consumers access provenance stories, ingredient details, allergen information, and brand campaigns - all managed from the self-service dashboard.
