If a product isn&rsquo;t in the database — new variety, irregular shape, uncommon origin — the system flags or rejects it.</p> <p>Result: truckloads of perfectly edible food get turned away and wasted because a database doesn&rsquo;t have a record for it.</p> <p>The more we automate logistics, the more we create failure modes that didn&rsquo;t exist before. A human inspector would just look at the food and decide. The algorithm needs a SKU.</p>
