Marcy-l\u2019\u00c9toile, France and Chicago, US, April 5th, 2024 <\/strong>\u2013 bioM\u00e9rieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, and M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences, a world leader in food safety, quality, and sustainability, jointly announces the launch of a new data-driven Trusted Third Party initiative, built with a group of global food industry partners to foster safe industry collaboration as well as better anticipate and prevent food safety risks.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite strong efforts, the food industry continues to cope with numerous safety and quality issues leading to public health threats, recalls and operational impacts. Changing the status quo and enhancing food safety control systems necessitates looking beyond the current systems based primarily on auditing, certification and testing. This is why, as leaders in food safety and quality, bioM\u00e9rieux and M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences are committed to tirelessly exploring new ways of pushing existing boundaries in safeguarding public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with some of the largest global food industry players, bioM\u00e9rieux and M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences have developed an innovative and collaborative model where both companies jointly act as a Trusted Third Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on meaningful business questions identified by all food partners, data is confidentially and securely aggregated from all participating partners and is combined with other publicly available data of interest (commodity pricing, food safety events, weather, etc.). The objective is to deliver consolidated anonymous insights and support business-critical decision-making, strengthening partners\u2019 food safety risk management programs and supply chain integrity while promoting competitiveness among industry players to reach higher quality and safety standards. Whilst the model currently focuses on Supplier Risk Management as the initial priority, it will serve multiple additional applications in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt bioM\u00e9rieux, we are excited about the innovative collaboration with M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences and our food industry partners. With a shared purpose and by combining our expertise, resources and data, our intent is to reshape the landscape of food safety, and set augmented quality standards.\u201d<\/em> explained Yasha Mitrotti, Executive Vice President, Industrial Applications, bioM\u00e9rieux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicolas Cartier, M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences CEO, commented: \u201cI am proud that, together with bioM\u00e9rieux, the trust our food industry partners have in our companies has resulted in the development of this innovative model, allowing us to harness the power of our collective data \u2013 not only for the benefit of our companies\u2019 individual objectives, but for the planet as we take leaps to help make food systems safer, healthier, and more sustainable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry Callebaut, Danone, Mars, Mondel\u0113z International, Nestl\u00e9 and PepsiCo have been involved as early partners in the exploration and design of the model over the last two years. Each company shared initial data sets to build the proof of concept and evaluate potential interest, helped identify key business questions and food safety issues, contributed to the platform design, and now supports the model development and expansion. This collaboration provides full confidence in delivering tangible and sustainable value for all partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bioM\u00e9rieux and M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences are now ready to welcome additional members with the ambition of maximizing the scalability of this model within the next months to accelerate value creation for the food industry and improve overall consumer safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
