“…And also, traceability records and traceability time have been used to evaluate the system's capability to obtain and process traceable information (Dzwolak, 2016). Regarding method adopted, approaches such as simulated recall methods (Donnelly et al, 2012;Forås et al, 2015) and factorial and cluster analyses (Banterle and Stranieri, 2008b) have been employed to assess system performance.…”

“…The existing measures and methods are not fully applicable to the evaluation and acceptance of various TSs. On the one hand, a common indicator system particularly used for different product chains is scarce, which may increase the difficulty of performance evaluation by government regulators and are not conducive to the comparison of TSs in distinct industries (Forås et al, 2015). Future research could develop systematic, standard, and operable evaluation index systems that are more applicable to general product TSs on the basis of theoretical and practical investigations.…”

The food traceability system (TS) provides visual services for consumers by recording every operation procedure of food supply, processing, marketing as well as distribution throughout the supply chain. This study aims to review the academic papers which are related to food supply chain traceability (FSCT) and proposes a framework for future research. To do this, we carry out a systematic literature review of 278 peer-reviewed scientific literature published between 1994 and September 2019. By classifying the FSCT into pre-study and post-study of TS implementation, this study reveals a number of future research directions of FSCT based on thematic findings and points out that the focus on such issues has shifted to the post-adoption study of TSs. This study further categorizes nine specific research topics from past literature and identifies specific opportunities of each theme for future research.

“…Lack of traceability has been mentioned by the workshop participants as a vulnerability for the retail/ HoReCa because this will limit the capabilities to react in a situation of crises but it also will affect the consumers trust in the product. In a study performed by Forås et al (2015) in Norway showed that the most food sectors in Norway were able to trace back their products to the origin, for fish (including salmon) this was 83%. Vertical coordination and integration has occurred in the salmon supply chain both upstream in farming and down-stream in retailing and have improved its performance and flexibility (Tveterås and Kvaløy 2004).…”

The objective of Aquarius project was to test the applicability of a food chain analysis on Atlantic salmon farmed in Norway to identify and monitor vulnerabilities and drivers of change for the identification of emerging risks. To this end, a comprehensive literature review was conducted complemented with expert views collected by on‐line questionnaires and in‐depth interviews. This review provided an overview of the various stages in the supply chain from farm to consumer and the identification of i) existing and emerging human and animal health hazards, ii) vulnerabilities, iii) control measures, iv) drivers of change, and v) related indicators. Next step in the study was to i) complement the list of vulnerabilities followed by a prioritisation using focus group discussions and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method and ii) link drivers of change acting upon the (prioritised) vulnerabilities and identification of associated indicators and data sources by means of a Delphi method. Based on the experiences obtained with the different methodologies during this project, the Aquarius team considers literature review, and a direct face‐to‐face interaction with experts (in‐depth interviews, focus group discussions and FMEA in a workshop setting) as being most effective regarding output and effort. The comprehensive information collected formed the basis for the methodology to baseline key indicators of the selected vulnerabilities. The methodology proposed comprised a Bayesian Network (BN) that links data sources for indicators and drivers of change to the prioritised vulnerabilities and was demonstrated for salmon health. A Decision Support System (DSS) with such BN integrated was designed. The current BN and DSS could flag an increased exposure of known hazards that may occur due to changes in indicators but new hazards are not identified. The proposed methodology could be used instead to show trends in vulnerabilities, indicators, increased exposure of known hazards and for scenario studies.

“…Traceability plays a key role in food chain management, especially in the case of highly perishable and rapidly deteriorating foods such as milk and dairy products (Mania et al, 2018). Few studies have been published on the traceability of food products and are generally related to meat (fish and red meat; Forås et al, 2015) and fruits and vegetables (Dandage et al, 2017); studies related to milk and dairy products remain scarce (Maldonado-Siman et al, 2013;Fåras et al, 2015). Despite the existence of a few studies evaluating consumer perceptions about traceability (Charlebois and Haratifar, 2015;Matzembacher et al, 2018), only one study has focused on the dairy producers' point of view (Lopes et al, 2020) but it did not evaluate artisanal cheese producers.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of artisanal cheese producers (n = 40) in Brazil regarding the implementation of traceability. A questionnaire consisting of 16 statements using a 5-point Likert scale was applied, and descriptive statistics and factor analysis were used for data analysis. The implementation of a traceability system can reduce the number of consumer complaints and the loss of products, in addition to increasing supplier control and process safety, thus protecting health and increasing consumer confidence. However, we did not find consensus on the relationship between implementation of a traceability system and rapid recalls in crisis episodes, or on the reduction in recalls and their negative impact on consumers. Because of the costs that drive implementation of this technology, some artisanal cheese producers do not consider a traceability system as a current reality to monitor their production. We concluded that Brazilian artisanal cheese producers have limited awareness of the impact of traceability implementation, which restricts investments in the system.
