July 16, 2021 โ Leif Anderson is the director of sales and services for Kirkland, Washington, U.S.A.-based Dynamic Systems Inc. He spoke with SeafoodSource about the companyโs SIMBA traceability and barcode labeling software, its use in the seafood sector, and the trend for industry standards.
SeafoodSource: You have noted increased demand for traceability products from the seafood sector. Is that demand coming from a requirement from the government to be able to do recalls, or other factors?
Anderson: Recalls are part of it, but with sustainability, itโs also about making sure companies arenโt fraudulently substituting one whitefish for another. So, itโs all those elements of traceability. Itโs knowing where your food came from for a recall if thereโs a need for that, but itโs also the sustainability, itโs reducing fraud and/or overfishing in certain areas. So, thereโs lots of different things that drive companies to look at products like ours.
