Food Transport Traceability

Edit

Food transport traceability refers to the systematic identification and tracking of food products, batches, and their associated information during transportation between supply chain stages [1][2]. It enables the recording and retrieval of information such as product identity, batch or lot number, origin, destination, vehicle, transportation route, delivery time, and handling conditions. For perishable foods, it also involves monitoring environmental parameters, particularly temperature and humidity, to verify compliance with storage and transport requirements and identify potential cold-chain disruptions [1][3]. Technologies such as barcodes, radio-frequency identification (RFID), global positioning systems (GPS), Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and digital data platforms support the collection and exchange of transport-related traceability information [2][3]. By linking product identity with movement and condition records, food transport traceability facilitates targeted recalls, food safety investigations, quality control, and accountability among logistics operators.
