This book provides a picture of food traceability for all aspects
of the food system, recognizing the unique differences, challenges,
and "states of the industry" in different types of food products,
as well as the different pressures and opportunities at different
points in the supply chain and the research that has already been
done. It also provides some historical context, along with the
types of solutions available to the food industry, and the benefits
associated with better recordkeeping that go beyond the public good
and impact the bottom line. Whenever a food related outbreak
occurs, traceability is called into question. When lives are at
stake, it is critical that the root of the problem is quickly
identified to prevent further illness. Once the problem is found,
it's just as important to contain it quickly. Too often, recalls
expand because implicated product is not readily accounted for.
Mention of traceability stirs fear for many in the food industry
for several reasons: within a company, it's not clear if
responsibility for traceability lies with food safety professionals
involved in recalls, supply chain professionals who understand
product movement, IT professionals who build and maintain the
recordkeeping systems, or regulatory professionals who need to
respond to government requests for information. There is also a
sense that traceability is someone else's problem. Few firms admit
that they are the weak link and instead tout how quickly they can
perform mock recalls. But traceability is about more than just
recalls. It is about the connectivity of the supply chain as a
product and its constituents travel from the farm to the consumer.
Because it is a systems issue, there is a sense that the investment
by a single firm will be meaningless if supply chain partners don't
have comparable abilities. This book will address both these
surrounding issues and solutions.
