Overview of Fusion Technology in Food Safety Big Data

Abstract

Large amounts of organised and unstructured data from various sources and origins are increasingly being handled by technology. Big data is a term used to describe these technologies, which open up new fields of research and applications that will have an expanding impact on all aspects of our society. Because of its potential to turn massive amounts of data into insights for informed business and operational choices, big data has found uses in a variety of industries. In the food industry, advanced techniques have been used for providing Food Safety. We present an overview of how and to what extent big data is being used in the food safety domain in this study. Mobile phones as food safety detecting devices and the use of social media as an early warning system for food safety issues are just two examples of the new advancements made feasible by big data.
