Rosita Guido, Giovanni Mirabelli, Enrico Palermo, Vittorio Solina
Abstract
Food traceability, in addition to being a precise regulatory provision, is becoming increasingly significant in the variegated world of the trade globalization. Data and information on producer and territorial manufacturing context, reported on each product label, are not sufficient to reassure consumer on authenticity and safe of the product. In fact, after the food scandals of recent years, consumer has become considerably more demanding and wary. Fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, response speed in the event of sanitary emergency are among the most recognized advantages of a traceability system [1].
