FoodTrace Compliance Portal
CAT²’s FoodTrace Compliance Portal, powered by Starfish, provides a seamless, secure path to FSMA 204 compliance and full supply chain traceability—whether you're regulated by the FDA, USDA, or responding to customer-driven transparency requirements. Fully embedded in your CAT² MES, this integrated solution is ready to activate when you are.
Previously a trusted IBM Food Trust onboarding partner, CAT Squared now delivers broader, more flexible interoperability through our Starfish-powered traceability framework.
Part of the FoodTrace product suite, this compliance-focused portal captures detailed production data at every stage of processing—including critical tracking events (CTEs), quality checks, product attributes, compliance documentation, and supplier certifications. This data can be securely shared with your supply chain partners via API to achieve true farm-to-fork traceability.
