4 MARCH 2021From farm to fork ­ transparent ­ traceable & compliant supply chain managementSpecPage The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unexpected stresses on food systems, creating many immediate challenges. COVID-19 has imposed shocks on all segments of food supply chains, simultaneously affecting farm production, food processing, transport and logistics, and final demand. Not all sectors and products have been equally affected, and different products have experienced disruptions at different stages of the supply chain. Food and workforce safety will remain a key issue during ­ and beyond ­ the ongoing pandemic. While the good news is that there is no proof of COVID-19 transmission from food or food packaging, restaurants will still have to put stringent new safety measures to protect their staff and customers alike.It's no secret that the foodservice industry ­and the hospitality industry as a whole ­ has been heavily impacted by the containment measures imposed by governments. But many restaurateurs have been quick to adapt their business model to offer their customers more flexible, pandemic-friendly dining options. This has caused a surge in take-away and delivery service options from quick-service or fast-casual restaurants and higher-end restaurants.
