Standard RFID inlays lose read reliability near water and in cold storage — a limitation that kept meat, deli, and seafood departments out of most RFID programs for years. Newer inlay construction is specifically engineered to compensate for this signal loss, maintaining reliable performance in exactly the conditions that used to make RFID unworkable here.



This matters because these categories carry real recall risk: contamination events in meat and seafood move fast, and without item-level data, retailers often have no choice but to pull an entire product category rather than the specific affected lot. Item-level RFID changes that math — isolating what's actually affected instead of everything in the category. We help you evaluate whether your current line is ready for this, and what it would take to get there.
