An additional advantage is the possible reduction of unnecessary waste. We will extend the infrastructure at Givaudan and Strauss and the digital twin platform set up in 2018 for collecting additional information relevant for food safety and for analyzing root causes of such events. Relevant stakeholders shall be identified and solutions for their digital integration shall be developed.
