Food Traceability Is The Ability To Track Any Food That Will Be Used For Consumption, Through All Stages of Production, Processing and Distribution

An effective food traceability system allows companies to track food through all stages of production from source to distribution. It relies on identifying suppliers, customers, and products with details like name, address, date, batch number, and quantity. This enables quick corrective actions like recalls if problems arise. Key departments responsible for traceability include procurement, logistics, quality control, and production, with batch coding used to identify goods through manufacturing and distribution.

TRACEABILITY

SYSTEM

FOOD TRACEABILITY IS THE ABILITY TO TRACK ANY FOOD THAT WILL BE


USED FOR CONSUMPTION, THROUGH ALL STAGES OF PRODUCTION,
PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION.

For food processing company, traceability should extend to


being able to identify the source of all food inputs such as:

Raw materials

Additives

Other ingredients

Packaging.

IMPORTANCE OF TRACEABILITY

Traceability enables corrective actions (such as a Product Recall) to


be implemented quickly and effectively when something goes wrong.

Traceability allows food processing companies to target the product(s)


affected by a food safety problem

CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRACEABILITY
SYSTEM

An effective traceability system relies on being able to track product one step forward and one
step back at any point in the supply chain.

Procedures for identifying suppliers, customers and products and the records kept including:

name and address (and other contact details) of suppliers and a description of products or
inputs supplied

name and addresses (and other contact details) of customers and a description of the product
supplied to them

date of transaction or delivery

batch or lot identification (or other markings)

volume or quantity of product supplied or received

any other relevant production records.

DEPARTMENTS IN THE FOOD CHAIN


RESPONSIBLE FOR EFFECTIVE
TRACEABILITY SYSTEM

PROCUREMENT: Purchasing of raw materials, Ingredients and other additives

LOGISTICS: Transport of purchased goods to the company and Dispatch of


finished product.

WAREHOUSE & STORES: Receiving and Storage of purchased goods/finished


products.

QUALITY CONTROL: Inspection of purchased goods and finished products for


conformity.

PRODUCTION: Processing of raw materials, ingredients and other additives


into finished products.

BATCH CODING

A batch number or code number or lot number is a mark of identification


by which the goods (raw material, ingredient, finished products) can be
traced in the manufacture and identified in the distribution
