Case Study: Chipotle Mexican Grill achieves enhanced supply chain traceability with Trustwell

Chipotle Mexican Grill Getting Started with Traceability

Chipotle Mexican Grill was working to strengthen its food safety and supply chain visibility by building a robust traceability program. The company needed a way to track menu ingredients from supplier to distribution center to restaurant at the lot-code level, using GS1 standards and a technology partner such as Trustwell.

Trustwell helped Chipotle Mexican Grill implement traceability technology and standards, including lot-level event tracking and GS1-128 compliant case labels. As a result, Chipotle gained the ability to identify where ingredients are at any time and where they have been, enabling faster, more thorough responses to food safety and quality concerns.
