Overview
As consumers demand greater transparency concerning their food, Mondelēz International has set an example for the industry by partnering with FoodChain ID to establish a future-forward sustainability framework for global compliance for all its food contact product packaging. This partnership demonstrates how food companies can work cross-functionally internally and with suppliers to uphold the highest safety and compliance standards, with extensive product portfolios spanning diverse geographies. At a time of evolving regulations and heightened scrutiny around food supply chains, Mondelēz’s commitment demonstrates the importance of compliance as a key pillar of responsible, sustainable business.
