WHAT IS TRACEABILITY?
The Importance of Traceability
In today's health-conscious consumer landscape, traceability is essential. Robust traceability systems address consumer concerns about product quality and source, fostering confidence and loyalty. Regulatory bodies like the U.S. FDA emphasize preventive measures and transparency through acts like FSMA, enabling swift recalls and enhancing consumer protection.
Cross-Border Traceability
Across the Asia-Pacific region, FSANZ collaborates to ensure food safety standards. Their guidelines advocate for comprehensive record-keeping and seamless information exchange among supply chain partners. By optimizing food item tracing, risks are managed, and consumer trust is nurtured.
Technology and Traceability
Technological advancements have streamlined traceability. Barcodes, RFID tags, and blockchain technology ensure unique identification, tamper-proof records, and enhanced transparency, bolstering authenticity.
