A New Era of Food Safety

The global food and beverage market is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 9.5% between now and 2028, making the industry work worth more than half a trillion dollars in 2028. The future of the food and beverage manufacturing industry is constantly evolving with regulations and challenges. Make sure your company has the industry experts at CBT on your side to help develop the best food and beverage industry solutions for your company.

The New Era of Smarter Food Safety was announced by the FDA in July 2020 requiring smart manufacturing for food and beverage operations and system upgrades for an increase in traceability for products. This New Era focuses on four core areas: tech-enabled traceability; smarter tools and processes for outbreak prevention and response; new and modernized business models; and food safety culture. Our experts are here to assist your food and beverage industry solutions facility and can design a robust network infrastructure for your plant, complete with hygienically designed components to increase production.
