This event will be held at the Washington , D.C. Convention Center, March 17-19, 2008.
The National Food Safety System (NFSS) is supported by a proprietary, on demand business software system by Smart Online, designed specifically for the food supply industry. The system provides a low-cost, secure, reliable option for every entity in the food industry – from growers to grocers – to help keep products safe and processes in compliance with government regulations and laws.

“FoodLogiQ's National Food Safety System is about providing best practices to support food quality, safety and defense in the world's food supply system,” said Andrew Kennedy, president of FoodLogiQ. “Given the recent beef recall and reported animal abuse incident shaking the industry, we hope to do our part to restore consumer confidence by providing food industry organizations with the tools they need to institute stricter hiring practices, reporting procedures and food traceability systems to help prevent any such incident from reoccurring.”
