On June 7, the world recognizes International Food Safety Day, a timely reminder that keeping food safe is a global, 24/7 commitment. From preventing cross-contamination and ensuring accurate labeling to monitoring temperature fluctuations during transport, today’s food safety challenges demand precision, real-time visibility, and scalable systems.
At BlueStar, we don’t just ship products, we deliver purpose-built solutions. We collaborate with forward-thinking manufacturers and ISVs to help our partners across the food ecosystem, from production and processing to retail and restaurants, deploy the technology that keeps food safe, operations compliant, and consumers confident.
With regulations tightening (like Natasha’s Law), supply chains growing more complex, and consumers demanding greater transparency, food businesses can no longer afford to “hope” everything goes right. From allergen mislabeling to cold chain breaches, the cost of getting it wrong is simply too high.
The good news? Today’s tools don’t just detect problems—they help prevent them. BlueStar helps our partners turn compliance into confidence through integrated technology that drives accuracy, traceability, and control.
Extreme temperatures, condensation, and freezer environments push devices to the limit. But speed and safety don’t have to suffer. We work with VARs and ISVs to deploy mobile computing solutions designed for cold storage—keeping food moving and data flowing, even in sub-zero conditions.
Honeywell CK67 Cold Storage
Designed for ultra-cold environments, the CK67 offers uninterrupted scanning, heater-controlled screens to prevent fogging, and a form factor built to withstand the extremes of the freezer aisle.
Datalogic Memor 10
Slim, ergonomic, and enterprise-ready, this mobile device keeps your team connected on the move, indoors or out. With built-in LTE and compatibility with cold chain platforms, it's ideal for food logistics and distribution.
Whether you're scanning pallets in deep freeze or validating last-mile deliveries, BlueStar helps you eliminate blind spots and build trust in every scan.
A connected supply chain is a safer supply chain. Real-time RFID tracking enables food businesses to pinpoint the exact location, temperature status, and shelf life of every product, lot, or pallet—minimizing waste and maximizing traceability.
Zebra Technologies – RFID for Food Safety
Zebra’s RFID portfolio—including fixed readers, handhelds, antennas, and smart labels—makes it easier to automate inventory counts, monitor stock movement, and trace ingredients from receipt to delivery. It seamlessly integrates into WMS, ERP, and food safety systems, providing the transparency needed for audits, recalls, and reporting.
BlueStar helps our partners configure RFID into food operations without complexity, so safety is never a guessing game.
Labeling is mission-critical in food environments. Whether it's highlighting allergens, updating ingredients, or ensuring regulatory compliance, your labeling solution needs to be fast, flexible, and reliable.
BlueStar offers a full spectrum of labeling options tailored to your environment, production speed, and risk profile:
Epson ColorWorks Series
On-demand color label printers that reduce waste, improve clarity, and enable businesses to print high-impact labels as needed. Ideal for allergen alerts and branding.
Entrust – Secure & Compliant Labeling
Provides encoding and high-throughput printing solutions built for scale. Trusted in food production environments where traceability and tamper-proofing matter most.
Brother – Compact & Connected
Reliable, mobile labeling solutions for kitchens and retail foodservice. From handhelds to desktops, these printers are perfect for on-the-spot allergen labeling, expiration tracking, and grab-and-go prep.
SATO – High-Speed Print & Apply
Automated print-and-apply systems that keep up with production lines. Built-in support for GS1 standards and food-safe materials ensures end-to-end compliance and consistency.
With decades of food industry experience, BlueStar helps partners cut through complexity and implement labeling systems that scale—without sacrificing speed or safety.
Food safety isn’t just a regulation to meet—it’s a promise to keep. And with lives, reputations, and brands on the line, technology must do more than function. It must perform under pressure.
That’s why BlueStar doesn’t just offer hardware, we connect our partners to a smarter way of working. We evaluate your workflows, recommend the right-fit tools, and support your deployments through our channel-first model and global services network.
Whether you're building a HACCP-compliant kitchen, tracing ingredients across borders, or scaling safe grab-and-go packaging, we’ll help you deploy technology that keeps safety front and center.
From rugged mobility and RFID to labeling systems and compliance software, BlueStar brings together the people, platforms, and partners that make food safety proactive, not reactive.
