SECURING PUBLIC HEALTH: IOT AND BIG DATA IN FOOD SAFETY TRACEABILITY

Abstract

This research paper investigates the transformative impact of Internet of Things
(IoT) technologies on enhancing food safety and quality measurements for public health in the food
industry. As global demands for diverse and safe food products rise, the integration of innovative
technologies becomes crucial. Developing a sensible and trustworthy food safety traceability system
and effectively executing traceability are the cornerstones of any solution to these issues. Today,
traceability solutions play a critical role in restoring consumer and market trust while guaranteeing
food safety and quality. The study explores real-world applications of IoT, focusing on its role in
monitoring and managing the entire food production cycle. By interconnecting devices and sensors,
IoT emerges as a multifaceted solution that revolutionizes traditional methodologies, promising to
elevate safety and quality standards throughout the food supply chain. In the dynamic realm of food
production, IoT proves to be a transformative force, providing real-time insights and reshaping how we
ensure safety and maintain the quality of the food we consume with food safety traceability.
