HorizonScan
HorizonScan is a data platform offering real-time insights into over 500 commodities, spanning 180 countries and 22,000 suppliers, with data on hazards ranging from food fraud to allergens.
Food Safety at Your Fingertips
Fera's technology-led solution for managing complex food safety supply chains. Trusted by leading UK supermarkets, food service operators, and manufacturers, it delivers unprecedented visibility into both direct and indirect supply chains.
The system can also aid with the data needed to complete your vulnerability assessments for BRC in the prevention of food fraud from adulteration, substitution, fraudulent documentation to expiry date changes, production in unapproved premises, production with inspection and unsuitable means of transport.
For supply chain managers with multiple ingredient responsibilities and complex international supply chains, or companies looking for new supply options, this system enables you to conduct topline investigations and be alerted to issues very quickly.


In the dynamic and complex food and drink industry, challenges like food fraud and integrity require proactive solutions. Fera collaborates with you to address these global supply chain risks, helping to "safeguard your supply chain" with a comprehensive, data-driven approach to food safety.
HorizonScan is designed to empower your decision-making by providing 24/7 access to real-time data alongside historic datasets for long-term trend analysis. It enables daily monitoring of emerging, new, and novel issues across the commodities you rely on—no matter where they are sourced.
By combining insights from across Fera’s expertise, HorizonScan supports you in staying ahead of risks, whether it's navigating the reduced use of fungicides or conducting supplier due diligence to avoid ingredients prone to fraud.
Together, we help ensure your supply chain remains resilient and informed in a rapidly evolving landscape.
