Food Traceability Series: Produce
Summary: The produce supply chain relies on detailed traceability data (CTE/KDE) from growers, packers, distributors, wholesalers, and repackers. Each stage records key identifiers like lot numbers, product codes, and shipping details to ensure transparency and food safety. Standardized tracking improves recall efficiency, quality control, and end-to-end supply chain visibility. Our Food Traceability blog series, part […]
Food Traceability Series: Dairy Supply Chain
Summary: The dairy supply chain uses CTE and KDE frameworks to ensure traceability from farm to consumer. Key data such as farm IDs, lot numbers, processing events, and packaging details are recorded at each stage. These records support regulatory compliance, improve recall efficiency, and enhance visibility across dairy production and distribution. Part 4 in our […]
Food Traceability: Bakery Supply Chain
Summary: The bakery supply chain involves tracking ingredients from raw materials to finished goods using CTE and KDE frameworks. Traceability covers receiving, storage, production, and shipping stages. Due to ingredient mixing and bulk handling, systems like WMS and RFID improve accuracy, ensure FIFO/FEFO compliance, and strengthen food safety and recall readiness. Part 3 in our […]
Food Traceability Blog Series: Global Relations
Summary: Global food traceability regulations vary widely across regions, from strict EU requirements to more limited systems in countries like Canada, China, Japan, and the U.S. The EU leads with comprehensive “one-step-forward, one-step-back” rules, while the U.S. relies on the Bioterrorism Act. Industry groups and partnerships support global implementation. Part 2 in our blog series on […]
