Supply Chain Assurance

Traceability – What do we mean?
• EU ‘food traceability’:
“The ability to track any food, feed, food producing animal or substance that will be used for consumption, through all stages of production, processing and distribution….”
This has become ‘one step up, one step down’
• US FSMA committed Secretary of State to:
“…establish a product tracing system to track and trace food that is in the US or offered for import into the US.”
No legal obligation for internal traceability systems

Other requirement for Traceability
• Regulatory
• Eg GFSI Standards: - BRC
- SQF
- FSSC
- IFS
• ISO 22005:2007 “Traceability in the feed and food chain – General principles and basic requirements for system design and implementation”
• Many others

From Farm to Fork (or bottle!)

Compliance
Traceability does not make food safe
• HACCP
Traceability enables unsafe food to be identified & tracked:
• Identification
• Record
• Recall, withdrawal
• Trial, mock

Brand Protection
• Compliance with requirements
• Market access; meeting importing requirements
• Voluntary; meeting additional requirements
• Establish trust
• In an event of (potentially) unsafe food:
- Communicate
- Track & trace
- Withdraw
- Recall

Technology
• Legal minimum:
To be able to record the supplier, the customer, product supplied, quantity, dates of delivery, batch number or identifier
• Paper-based
• Electronic eg bar code
• Computer based eg ERP
• QR barcodes
• RFID

Technology

• Advancing science eg
- isotopic mapping
- DNA sequencing
- mass spectrometry & gas chromatography
• Traceability but also:
- fraud protection
- contamination protection

Traceability to Visibility
• Track & trace (Traceability):
Provide ways to ‘rapidly and effectively’ track & trace food so that in the case of an outbreak…a product can be traced back to a common source or forward through distribution channels.
• Visibility:
The ability to make data readily available to stakeholders, to enable produce, components or products to be traced from source, through processing through to destination.
