The coronavirus has had an impact on most, if not all, industries everywhere on our globe. Many businesses are hit hard, and only a few are thriving. As a supplier to multiple industries, Mega Fortris has been affected, and our agility and robustness are being tested. But regardless of what is happening in the world, some things, like democratic elections, must proceed unhindered.

Mega Fortris Americas is proud to secure the democratic process when supplying our seals to state departments and county election boards in the US. Recently, Mega Fortris’ Fast Seals, MCLP180 2Ks, MCL350 cable seals and TE Labels were used to secure ballot boxes, drop-off boxes, storage containers and voting machines in the US Presidential election in November 2020.

Each state has its own election rules and regulations, but due to the pandemic, most states were allowing mail-in ballots to avoid large gatherings on election day. In some states, mail-in ballots could be dropped off, mailed or handed in several weeks before election day and many voters acted accordingly. Therefore, the need for sealed storage of more ballots for a long time was crucial to secure the election this year compared to past elections.

Several factors are undermining the trust in fair elections in the US, which is very unfortunate. However, a positive side-effect is that more focus is put on the processes and security devices being used. That is crucial to continue improving and securing this vast and diverse election system that caters to more than 250 million voters and currently has more than 230,000 polling places nationwide.

Mega Fortris’ role in preserving electoral transparency and ingenuity is critical. Our commitment to providing the necessary equipment helps to ensure democracy could take its course. This isn’t just limited to preserving the integrity of the democratic process in the US, but for the whole world too.

“The COVID-19 global health crisis has been a time to reflect on things we truly cherish and our most basic needs. These uncertain times have made many of us rekindle our appreciation for a thing that some take for granted and many go without: food.” – Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

This year’s #WorldFoodDay on 16th October 2020 marks the 75th Anniversary of the founding of FAO, an organisation founded to strengthen food production and distribution systems to fighting hunger and tackling disease, whether they emerge in humans, animals, plants, or the environment.

This year’s #WorldFoodDay is nothing but ordinary with the pandemic threatening our populations. The impact of COVID-19 on food and agriculture affects value chains, food prices, and food security across the globe. Sustainable initiatives led by governments and private organisations, aim to mitigate the impact of food supply on vulnerable communities amidst this pandemic, needs to ensure food safety and prevent contamination across the supply chain.

A research revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had intensified the urgency for supply chain transparency. This is especially pronounced in the food supply chain as the consumer highly demands food supply chain transparency, resulting from several occurrences of food safety issues around the world. In the early days, a vision study report by Zebra Technology enlightened the industry players and public on food safety, traceability and transparency in the food supply chain.

Now you may ask, how do food safety and traceability in the food supply chain relate to each other? Both are essential quotidian supporting our daily life with minimal visibility; both are at stake if no preventive measures are taken proactively. With traceability in the food supply chain, visibility and transparency offered to the industry and public. Traceability upholds trust and reliability between industry players and the consumer and eases the operation suppose a food safety alert emerges.

Application of Traceability

Subsequently, consumer brands such as Mondeléz, Olam, and EZ Grow Farms join the traceability movement to build a safe food supply chain. Countries such as Australia, Hong Kong, UK, and Brazil have reinforced traceability in the food supply chain by introducing standards and regulations. Furthermore, the FDA has recently proposed a food safety fundamental rule for the farm-to-fork food traceability across the food industry.

Traceability is a supply chain solution supported by software and hardware. For the software, blockchain has been the top choice when considering a system to support end-to-end traceability. Blockchain is proven to certify the authenticity and prevent falsification, while simultaneously visualizing the entire supply chain for greater value.

A Japanese blockchain company, Chaintop designed a traceability system that requires just the mobile app and a smartphone. With this simple mechanism, the public can scan the QR code on the product to gain product information registered. The company has managed to trace sea squirts in Japan and pharmaceutical products in Malaysia. Meanwhile, the Australian Department of Primary Industry is looking into tracing mud crab to combat illegal fishing and hence ensuring a sustainable resource of mud crab. Traceability can be a solution for sustainable supply chain environment too.

Security Seals and Tamper-Evident Sticker in Traceability

While blockchain enables authenticity certification, the hardware for traceability must be able to secure the product and uphold material integrity. The hardware shall not compromise on any pilferage, alteration, and theft. Security seals and tamper-evident stickers are the best hardware and identifiers for traceability as they are versatile for all applications throughout the process, tamper-evident, and cost-effective.

Mega Fortris is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of security seals, container bolt seals, tamper-evident products, and complete solutions for the securing of goods. The award-winning and standards accredited company offers a full range of highly tamper-evident and cost-competitive security products.

Traceability for Food Supply Chain Transparency

The elevation and implementation of traceability for food safety in the food supply chain rely on the technology advancements and substantial tools, in addition to supporting the operation and delivering optimized performance. Security seals are not only an integral but rather a fundamental tool to complete traceability in the food supply chain. With security seals and technology, we can simultaneously achieve security, visibility, and sustainability in the food supply chain.

From the consumer demand we see in the surveys and reports, to the industry initiatives and standards and regulations by the government, the collective efforts set the pace to establishing a worldwide definitive standard and system, hence assemble a safe and transparent food supply chain. Industry players should be able to identify the intangible yet significant return of traceability and be part of the movement to improve food safety in the food supply chain.

Our safety labels have been tried and tested for use in car dealerships between each test drive/demo. Currently, cars are Sanitised between each test drive, and a label then placed on the car door. Any subsequent attempt to remove it will again highlight any breach in security and possible cross-contamination threat.
