FoodLogiQ

What FoodLogiQ does

FoodLogiQ is a U.S.-based B2B software company, founded in 2006 and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ESHA Holding Company, LLC, that provides food traceability, food safety, quality management, and recall software for the food industry. Its platform integrates compliance, supplier documentation, traceability, and recall management modules to help food companies meet FSMA 204 (Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204) requirements and achieve farm-to-fork traceability. The technology stack combines blockchain-based tracking with AI-augmented tools (Trustwell AI and AskReg) for compliance and regulatory knowledge retrieval. FoodLogiQ sells to enterprise and mid-market customers across restaurants, grocers, food manufacturers, wholesale distributors, supplement manufacturers, and growers, with named customers including Whole Foods, sweetgreen, First Watch, and Qdoba, and a stated base of 2,500+ brands globally.

The company operates a subscription-based SaaS revenue model delivered through the Trustwell Connect platform, distributed primarily via direct enterprise sales with consultative, quote-based pricing. In 2023, FoodLogiQ merged with ESHA Research to form Trustwell under the ESHA Holding Company umbrella, combining food traceability software with ESHA's Genesis food and supplement formulation and labeling software, as well as the Food Processor nutrition analysis product. The combined entity is headquartered in Salem, United States, employs 51–100 people, and has raised approximately $33.75 million in disclosed equity funding across rounds from 2015 to 2019, with strategic investors including Tyson Ventures, Aliment Capital, and Renewal Funds.

FoodLogiQ's go-to-market relies on content-driven demand generation (regulatory blogs, webinars, the reCONNECT annual conference, case studies) feeding a direct enterprise sales motion with "Request a Demo" conversion points. Its competitive position is anchored in deep FSMA regulatory expertise, an established network of 2,500+ brand customers, and switching costs tied to accumulated supplier compliance documentation and traceability records.
