AIB International Brings AI to Everyday Food Safety Decisions with New Industry-Focused Tools

New solutions combine trusted industry knowledge, real inspection data, and official regulatory sources to help food manufacturers make faster, more informed decisions.

MANHATTAN, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIB International today announced the introduction of two new AI-powered tools, bringing its digital strategy to market with practical solutions designed to simplify complex requirements, make trusted information easier to access, and support more informed decisions across food manufacturing operations.

The launch represents a significant milestone in AIB International's digital strategy, announced in September when the organization outlined its plans to invest in AI and emerging technologies. By combining more than a century of food safety expertise with decades of inspection data and emerging technologies, AIB is translating that strategy into practical tools that support food safety professionals in their everyday work.

The new AIB Consolidated Standards Companion and Regulatory Assistant apply AI to two challenges food safety teams routinely face: identifying potential gaps in their GMP programs and navigating complex food labeling regulations across different markets.

At the core of both tools is a focus on trusted information. The Companion combines AIB Consolidated Standards with insights from anonymized inspection findings, while the Regulatory Assistant draws on official regulatory sources. Both provide traceable, source-backed information that food safety professionals can verify and leverage to make more informed decisions.

"AI has enormous potential in food safety, but its value depends on the quality of the information behind it," said Aaron Edwards, President and CEO of AIB International. "We're taking the knowledge we've built over decades and making it accessible in ways that weren't possible before. Our goal is to amplify the expertise food safety professionals already bring to their work, giving them the insights and tools to make more confident decisions and safeguard the products consumers trust."

For food manufacturers, the potential applications are practical and immediate. A food safety manager preparing to introduce a new production line, for example, could use the Consolidated Standards Companion to identify relevant requirements and explore recurring issues identified through AIB's real-world inspections. By connecting what the Standards require with common findings from actual manufacturing environments, the tool helps teams recognize potential challenges and prioritize preventive actions.

The upcoming Regulatory Assistant, developed in collaboration with technology partner Innova-Q, will expand AIB's AI-powered capabilities to help professionals navigate food labeling regulations. Designed to support regulatory affairs and labeling teams, the tool will help professionals navigate requirements across the United States, Canada, and Mexico using trusted regulatory sources.

Together, these tools help food safety and compliance professionals make more informed decisions, identify and reduce risks, and protect consumers more efficiently by providing easier access to trusted information and industry expertise.

"Food safety professionals make decisions under real operational pressures, often balancing production demands, technical requirements, and limited time," said Alan Duncan, Vice President of Operations at AIB International. "Whether they're using real inspection insights to strengthen GMP programs or researching regulatory requirements across different markets, these tools make critical information easier to access and understand. That means less time searching for answers and more time focusing on what matters most: strengthening food safety."

The launch marks the introduction of AIB Intelligence, a growing portfolio of digital tools designed to make AIB's technical expertise, industry data, and trusted knowledge more accessible through advanced technology. Beginning with the Consolidated Standards Companion and expanding with the upcoming Regulatory Assistant, the portfolio aims to support smarter, more efficient food safety and compliance decisions.

Both tools are designed to complement professional expertise by making trusted information easier to access and understand, while keeping critical decisions and professional judgment in the hands of food safety and compliance teams.

The Consolidated Standards Companion is now available for exploration. Interested organizations can request a demonstration and free trial directly through the AIB International website.
