Questions about SGS FoodNexus

Which AI model does SGS FoodNexus use?
The maker of SGS FoodNexus does not disclose which AI model sits underneath. Proprietary AI tool that integrates AI models from external licensors (according to the provider); data processed by AI and checked by SGS experts (according to the provider); customer data not used for machine learning, model training or generative AI without written consent (according to the provider); ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, valid until 5-9-2027 (according to the provider); Swiss provider (outside the EU); hosting location sought, not published.
How much does SGS FoodNexus cost?
on request. Check the current price on the provider's website; rates change often.
Who is SGS FoodNexus for?
SGS FoodNexus is aimed at the food industry. It fits work such as optically inspecting and sorting products for defects, ripeness and internal quality, forecasting shelf life and demand to limit food waste and shrinkage, and developing and reformulating recipes, including nutritional value, allergens and labelling.
What should I watch out for with AI in the food industry?
In this sector the data is mostly business data (recipes, suppliers, production figures) and rarely personal data, but recipes and specifications are trade secrets. Ask every provider whether your data is used to train models: Trace One excludes training of public models, while OneThird, according to its terms, receives a perpetual licence to anonymised, aggregated data. Pay attention to hosting location: OneThird and Delicious Data host in the EU, SGS FoodNexus is Swiss, and with Qcify the American parent is the controller. Hardly any provider states which AI model sits behind it (Trace One names Gemini). An AI inspection or HACCP proposal does not replace release by a competent employee: legal responsibility for food safety (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002) and labelling (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011) remains with you. Cameras on the shop floor can also capture employees; arrange that with the works council and a DPIA.
