NEW: Announcing the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative. This new Initiative facilitates GS1 standards adoption for complete and accurate data in the United States foodservice industry. This mission will be accomplished through voluntary individual company adoption and implementation of GS1 standards by foodservice manufacturers, distributors, and operators. Learn more by visiting the Initiative’s website.
Recent studies report over 70% of foodservice cases have GS1 product identification and barcodes; manufacturers, distributors, and operators are using the GS1 System to be more efficient. A GS1 US led Foodservice eCommerce Task Group is preparing XML based eCommerce standards in order to make business to business communications even more efficient.
