Abstract: Abstract Food is subject to many dangers throughout the supply chain. Any failure can have a substantial impact on food safety. Moreover, economically driven corruptions result in new vulnerabilities almost daily. Traceability responds to these issues but fails in reacting to every specific situation and accommodating the demands of all parties implicated. Consequently, this study provides a unique strategy to assure consumers about food safety while at the same time reinforcing all the supply chain actors. The suggested solution is unique, incorporating an innovative integrated Decision Support System (DSS) based on Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled sensor technologies and data analytics. It also employs a holistic approach covering the food supply chain end-to-end to consider all the stakeholders, beginning from the consumers, via retailers, traders and manufacturers, up to the producers. The proposed approach includes an assessment step, securing an economic, environmental and social impact. These elements ensure a novel and applicable traceability system that guarantees food safety for the end-user while enhancing the triple-bottom-line sustainability of the supply chain actors.
