FAQ
HorizonScan is built for ingredient and supplier risk monitoring. It combines structured food safety intelligence, analytics and access to original reports so teams can investigate issues more consistently compared with generic food safety news monitoring. Organizations can strengthen their overall risk management approach through broader food safety certification programs.
Users can research ingredients, commodities, suppliers, countries of origin, and incident types to understand where risks may affect their supply chain. This supplier-focused visibility complements tools such as supplier compliance and monitoring solutions.
It supports supply chain risk assessments with current alerts, historical data, and source reports that help teams document decisions, investigate issues, and strengthen risk-based review processes. Organizations managing complex compliance challenges may also benefit from regulatory and scientific affairs consulting.
Historical data helps teams see recurring patterns, compare current issues against past events, and prioritize risks that are most relevant to suppliers, ingredients and markets. Access to historical intelligence can also support food fraud vulnerability assessments using resources such as the Food Fraud Database.
The platform tracks biological, chemical and physical hazards, including allergens, mycotoxins, heavy metals, foreign objects, pesticides and drug residues, GMOs, and dioxins, PCBs and PAHs. Monitoring chemical hazards may also support programs involving pesticide residue testing and contaminant risk management.
HorizonScan is a food safety intelligence platform that uses horizon scanning to identify emerging risks in ingredients and supply chains. It combines global data sources, alerts and analytics to help companies monitor hazards, track trends, and support risk-based decision-making.
