The complexity of attaining food safety in multinational Ready-to-Eat (RTE) production facilities has grown considerably with evolving consumer expectations, heightened regulatory interest, and international supply chain integration. To address these, the present paper proposes an integrated system that goes beyond traditional reactive paradigms to a proactive food safety system. The system has real-time tracing, predictive analytics, and cross-functional coordination, adhering to global standards such as FSMA (U.S. FDA, 2011), Codex Alimentarius (2020), and the GFSI standard (2018). Advances in AI and IoT technology have enabled the development of data-driven correction action systems that can identify anomalies before incidents take place (Bolton et al., 2021; Geng et al., 2023). Besides, emerging challenges such as cybersecurity and data privacy now form a critical part of digitalized safety spaces and must be followed in compliance with standards such as GDPR and NIST. The novelty of this research is that it offers an integrated multidisciplinary view that fuses technical, behavioral, and governance aspects—making it distinct from present linear or siloed models. This model not only enhances audit preparedness and compliance but also promotes a mature food safety culture within culturally diverse operating environments. Practical implications are derived for leadership involvement, anticipatory response systems, and cultural change initiatives, paving the way for strong, technology-facilitated food safety management in the post-pandemic situation.
