Food Traceability : The Seed to Growing Safety and Efficiency in our Food Supply

Food Traceability is the capability of tracking food through production and distribution. News stories have focused on tracking food through the supply chain in order to reduce risk. Food traceability and supply threats continue to be reported in the news today. The media frequently mentions consumer concerns over safety, tampering, and even bioterrorism.

A good traceability program provides a vital tool for marketing, food safety and supply management. These programs provide reassurance to both consumers and growers. They inform consumers about produce attributes such as the variety, grower and important dates. Traceability is not only newsworthy, but a great investment. Food industry analysts estimate that American companies spend millions each year on supplying produce to the market. The ability to reduce these costs frequently makes the difference between a successful and failed farm. A company?s traceability program is essential to establishing the most efficient ways to produce, pack, warehouse, and distribute food products.
