In a recent column in Food Safety Magazine (free, but sign-up required), supply chain experts John Keogh, Steve Simske and Louise Manning review the current state of the art in food supply traceability, the drivers for traceability improvement, and take a look into the future. They discuss the increasing need for claims verification, particularly with regard to ethical production standards, as well as the need for rapid traceability in the event of a recall or safety alert relating to an ingredient. Digitised traceability is a rapidly evolving field, and this article gives pointers to recommended best practice and guidance documents.
