Visualizing Our Global Consumer Reporting Footprint

published on 11 March 2024

The Power of Global Crowdsourcing to Strengthen Food Safety

DineSafe owns the leading consumer food safety platform, Iwaspoisoned.com. This platform allows consumers globally to share their food safety experiences. With native support for seven languages, we've received reports from over 170 countries.

Collecting food safety reports from consumers through crowdsourcing provides new and valuable insights, enhancing our understanding of the evolving landscape of food safety. This approach facilitates the collection of real-time, firsthand experiences, providing direct insights into issues potentially overlooked by conventional data-gathering techniques. By incorporating crowdsourcing, we deepen our comprehension of food safety practices and trends, thereby supporting the continuous evolution of food safety management.

The global reach of DineSafe and Iwaspoisoned.com demonstrates that every consumer submission, whether it is from a restaurant or a product purchased at a grocery store, contributes to a broader understanding of food safety trends worldwide.

*Note, approximately 30% of all consumer reports are publicly shown on Iwaspoisoned.com; this is based on consumer choice and preference at the time of reporting.

We've also established partnerships with over 400 public health agencies across various regions—discover more about our collaboration here.
