FoodReady is an American software company based in Chicago, Illinois. It provides food quality management software and food safety consulting services for food manufacturers, processors, warehouses, and distributors.[1] Its platform combines food safety and quality management tools with food traceability software, food inventory software, and digital tools for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and food safety plan development.[2][1]
In 2022, FoodReady entered into a strategic partnership with food safety auditing and certification company ASI. Under the partnership, ASI incorporated FoodReady's food safety software into its consulting services and agreed to recommend the platform to clients seeking to digitize food safety documentation and compliance processes.[2]
FoodReady subsequently expanded its platform with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for food safety planning, as well as inventory management and food traceability functionality. A 2025 platform update included an AI-assisted HACCP and food safety plan builder, food inventory and lot-tracking capabilities, and traceability tools designed to support compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204 requirements.[1]
In 2026, the company introduced additional mock recall and digital traceability capabilities. The tools connect lot tracking, inventory, production, supplier records, and recall reporting, enabling food companies to trace products and ingredients through the supply chain and prepare documentation for audits and product recalls.[3]
