Introducing SGS Food Nexus: The Trusted Digital Platform for Food Risk and Regulatory Compliance

Food companies are being asked to manage more regulatory change, more supplier risk, and more audit pressure than ever before. At the same time, the information they need is fragmented across recalls, border rejections, import refusals, regulatory updates, monitoring programs, and authority notices worldwide.

Manual monitoring is no longer enough. Teams need connected, decision-ready intelligence to keep up.

Introducing SGS Food Nexus

SGS Food Nexus is the trusted digital platform for food risk and regulatory compliance, helping food businesses strengthen supplier oversight, improve audit readiness, and act earlier on emerging risks across the global food supply chain.

Built on the combination of SGS FoodNexus's regulatory intelligence and FOODAKAI's food safety analytics, SGS Food Nexus transforms fragmented global data into one connected intelligence layer — so teams can make faster, more confident decisions.

Two connected intelligence capabilities

SGS FoodNexus — real-time regulatory intelligence

SGS FoodNexus provides real-time monitoring of global food regulations, labeling requirements, and compliance standards. The platform continuously tracks regulatory developments across jurisdictions and maps them to specific product portfolios and ingredients — helping companies maintain compliance in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.

FOODAKAI — predictive food safety and supplier risk intelligence

FOODAKAI provides predictive intelligence on food safety risks affecting ingredients, suppliers, and global commodity flows. By continuously monitoring recalls, border rejections, national monitoring programs, and official alerts, FOODAKAI helps companies detect emerging hazards early and strengthen supplier risk assessment programs.

Together, these capabilities provide a comprehensive intelligence foundation for food companies navigating global regulatory and safety complexity.

What this means for customers

Existing SGS FoodNexus and FOODAKAI customers continue using their current services without disruption. No immediate migration is required.

What changes is the scope of what is now available. SGS Food Nexus expands access to a broader connected platform, and both SGS FoodNexus and FOODAKAI clients can explore complementary capabilities through a complimentary cross-trial starting April 1.

How enterprise teams can use SGS Food Nexus

SGS Food Nexus provides the external intelligence layer that feeds supplier risk assessments, audit plans, lab testing strategies, and regulatory monitoring programs. Enterprise food companies can use the platform to:

• Strengthen supplier and material risk assessment with objective external risk signals and incident data
• Generate structured evidence for audits aligned with GFSI, FSMA, and customer requirements
• Prioritize lab testing budgets and ingredient approvals based on real-world risk patterns
• Detect emerging risk signals earlier across specific commodities, regions, or suppliers
• Support predictive models with connected regulatory and food safety data

Whether managing thousands of suppliers or building out risk-based audit plans, SGS Food Nexus helps teams connect recalls, border rejections, import refusals, monitoring program findings, and regulatory updates into one decision-ready layer for supplier oversight and risk-based action.
