FoodLogiQ and Smart Online Address National Food Recalls
Experts Available to Comment on How the New National Food Safety System Can Help
Prevent Widespread Food Recalls, Such as Those Recently Announced


RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 05, 2008 —
This weekend’s recall of 143 tons of meat by a New York-based food manufacturer is one of numerous significant food recalls this year. Because of such recalls, consumers are growing increasingly concerned about the safety and quality of their food.

Last week, two North Carolina companies, FoodLogiQ and Smart Online, announced the availability of a food safety and defense solution, National Food Safety System. The system is designed to help reduce the number of food recalls and to pinpoint the exact source in the event of food contamination.

Andrew Kennedy, president, FoodLogiQ, is available to comment on how the National Food Safety System provides a simple, low cost, on-demand, USDA certified lab testing for food contaminants, including listeria, the bacteria that is the focus of the most recent recall. He can explain how track-and-trace software based on RFID (radio frequency identification) technology and "stop at the dock" instant notification of failed supplier lab testing is now available and can limit the size of a recall as well as damage to retailers and consumers.

Tom Furr, chief strategic officer, Smart Online is also available to comment on how the National Food Safety System enables farmers, food processing plants and retailers to keep products safe. He can explain how the technology behind this new system connects all the points along the food chain so that consumers know they are getting the freshest food available.

To schedule an interview about the prevention of food recalls, the precautions farmers and food processors should take, overall improved food safety or what consumers can do to ensure they are buying fresh meats and produce, please call Dana Hughens at 919-457-0749. More information about the National Food Safety System, as jointly developed and announced last week by FoodLogiQ and Smart Online, is available at:
