Importance of traceability in the food industry
Good product traceability is important in any sector, but when it comes to the food sector, it is vitally important. Controlling where products are at any given moment helps to ensure food quality and to make important decisions in the event of a problem. For example, checking that there is no breakage in the cold chain when it can directly affect the quality of the product.
Improving supply chain management with RFID
RFID technology in food can provide complete, real-time knowledge of all products, from their origin to the point of sale. In this way, minimum food safety standards are guaranteed, both for the companies that buy these products and for the end consumers.
