2. What is traceability traceability
ability to follow the movement of a feed or food through specified stage(s) of production, processing and distribution
3. Why is traceability a key issue? Trading partners use product traceability to meet business needs including:
Legal compliance
Product safety and quality
To manage recall and withdrawal
Efficient logistics management
To meet trading partner expectations
To protect the consumer
4. Key Needs include A global unique numbering system to all
Information management via distributed data
Value-added process based on traceability
Open standards
Effective solutions
5. Related Chinese standards /regulations National regulations
Draft National law on Food Safety
General management level:
ISO 22000 =GB/T 22000 IDT
Food safety management system requirements for any organization in the food chain
Genenral implementtation guideline level :
ISO 22005 to be published
Numbering Schema level :
GS1 traceability standards= related GB
Several departments have their own numbering system: dangerous
Data carriers:
Bar code: well standardised
RFID: LF ok, HF OK, UHF TBD
7. TRACEABILITY AND GS1 STANDARDS
8. Traceability main activities
9. Traceability as a process
10. Use Case Actor Matrix
11. Traceable Item
12. RFID + Bar Code, a practical way
16. Potential benefits of RFID
17. Potential benefits of RFID RFID + Sensor, more sensitive information into the syatem
18. Conclusion Traceability is a fundamental requirement of all Quality Management systems that require documented procedures aiming at product identification. Traceability does not improve food/feed safety but establishes the transparency needed for efficient control measures
By developing new technological solutions for ensuring a trustworthy linkage between product flow and information flow along the entire food chain , can increase consumer confidence in the food supply
Open standards are key issues
