Traceability Systems
(Guidelines for Food Traceability)
A food traceability system
enables to follow the movement of any food product by documentation of each
point of food handling. When an incident occurs, the food traceability system
could efficiently assist in the recall of the food product(s) in question and
assist in the investigation of the cause. Also transmitting and verifying the
relevant information would contribute to increasing reliability on the information
of the label and so on, and thus enables consumers to purchase food with a
sense of security.
