Trace One, a leading SaaS provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and compliance solutions for the food and beverage industry, announced a strategic partnership with delaware, a global consulting company specializing in AI-driven enterprise solutions. The companies are launching Legi Food, an AI assistant that instantly answers complex food regulatory questions with direct citations to relevant legislation.
Adressing complexity in food legislation
Nowadays, food manufacturers face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. With regulations varying significantly across countries and regions—and changing frequently—companies struggle to keep pace. A single compliance error can result in product recalls, hefty fines, or retail delistings. Teams waste valuable time navigating foreign language legislation, searching through scattered documentation, and waiting for answers from overwhelmed regulatory departments.
Legi Food transforms compliance management through conversational AI. Users simply type questions in everyday language—"Can I add sulfites to my bakery product in China?"—and receive instant, accurate responses with direct citations to relevant legislation. The platform operates in more than 50 languages across all major food categories and deploys securely on-premise or via private cloud, ensuring complete data protection while delivering enterprise-grade AI capabilities.
Strategic partnership value
This partnership brings together complementary strengths to deliver significant value to the food industry. delaware gains access to Trace One's outstanding regulatory intelligence platform, which includes more than 134,000 food news items, 74,000 food laws globally, 300+ continuously monitored regulatory sites, and three decades of specialized food compliance expertise.
