Suppliers are given a platform to share information about their products to consumers, regulatory agencies, and retailers. How it works: Lot numbers are assigned to products processed at a particular time and place-- these numbers are key to Lotpath’s functionality. Suppliers, from small family farmers to large corporations may mark their products indicating that information is available in Lotpath. This information may include agricultural practices, locations, dates, sanitation and even safety data. Retailers using Lotpath are able to obtain additional information from suppliers besides purchase and shipping data. Industry programs can are given management control over food supplier’s program memberships and participation levels. Finally, there’s you the consumer—you end up knowing more than you ever knew before about your food.
