Foodtrace EU traceability framework project
Foodtrace EU a project about traceability. It affects all businesses and agencies involved with food. It relates to how we identify every single item that passes through the supply chain. Traceability is both recognised, and the concept established, within the European Union and legislation came into force in January 2005.
There is no doubt that Traceability is a buzz-word across Europe. We need it. The primary objective is to develop a practical framework for the Traceability of food. The framework must cover every aspect of traceability with the wellbeing of the consumer of paramount importance. It must be practical and worthwhile for businesses and the retail trade to implement and should be suitable for adoption by trading partners. The ultimate purpose of the framework is to support consumer enjoyment of a safe, diverse and high quality food supply.
