It is hoped that the technology will allow industry players share consistent and standardized information about food ingredients and finished products.

The Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) has launched a new technology system, ePIF, which enables companies to track product information across its entire supply chain and provide timely information to regulators.

It is hoped that the technology will allow industry players share consistent and standardized information about food ingredients and finished products.

AFGC CEO Tanya Barden said it would help businesses meet the increasing costs of operating in a highly regulated industry.

She added that this technology is built on a decade of industry knowledge. ePIF features updated content on issues like origin labelling and health star ratings and is being translated into a range of business-to-business software solutions.

The technology was launched at the Australian Institute of Science and Technology convention, held alongside the FoodPro show in Sydney.
