Analysis and Assessment of Food Traceability Status in China

Abstract:

Food traceability is a support tool for preventing and improving food safety problems. The purpose of food traceability is to collect the flow and transformation information of food-related materials in the food chains. When faced with a food safety crisis, we can find the source of the problem and track the flow of products from the information, and effectively carry out food recalls. In this paper, the status of food traceability in China is deeply analyzed from the laws, regulations, standards, traceability techniques and systems construction, and validity of internal and external traceability in food chains is assessed retrospectively. Then some recommendations for the further development of China's food traceability are proposed.
