Trustwell, a leading provider of traceability and compliance solutions for the food industry, today announced that its FoodLogiQ platform has successfully passed the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) Capability Test. This certification recognizes Trustwell as a verified “GDST-Capable Solution,” affirming its ability to securely exchange standardized traceability data across the seafood supply chain.
“This milestone elevates Trustwell’s role in the global traceability ecosystem. As a GDST partner since 2024, we have championed the need for data standards that strengthen food safety and transparency. Certification reinforces our commitment to advancing a more connected, resilient, and secure seafood supply chain for our customers, their partners and the industry.”

The GDST Capability Test evaluates a software provider’s ability to send and receive GDST-compliant traceability data, including key data elements (KDEs) and critical tracking events (CTEs), using JSON and GS1 Digital Link standards. Certification confirms that Trustwell’s platform enables interoperability between trading partners using different systems, reducing complexity and improving efficiency throughout the supply chain.
Kevin Edwards, Vice President of Global Market Development at GDST said “The GDST are working with industry to promote trust in fishery and aquaculture supply chains. We support organizations in adopting our common-language Standard and we work with solution-providers such as Trustwell, who share our vision for digital interoperable traceability - enabling data to pass seamlessly along the full length of the supply chain.”
“We are delighted that Trustwell’s FoodLogiQ platform is now GDST-Capable. With a growing number of consumers demanding safe, ethical, sustainable products, GDST-Capable platforms empower the seafood sector to effectively demonstrate full traceability – from fish to fork – providing a critical edge in building trust with consumers and delivering compliance with legislation.”
