“…Simulation systems, prototypes, frameworks and data models have been researched to pilot emerging technologies and standards in recent years for enhancing existing quality management system with tracking and tracing functions or developing new traceability systems [2], [55], [56], [71]. Based on EPCIS (EPC Information Service) standards and framework, R. Wang et al have developed a proof-of-concept prototype to simulate processes of key food identification, data sharing within and across enterprises and tracking and tracing, in Auto-ID enabled frozen food chain [66]; M. Thakur et al introduce a new methodology for modeling and sharing food traceability information through aggregation, transition and integration of EPCIS events [63].…”

Abstract-Demands on safe, high-quality and healthy food are unprecedentedly increasing in both emerging economies and advanced countries. Food safety incidents and scandals, frequently breaking out around the world, are significantly reducing the confidence of consumers in food safety and quality. It is even more difficult to achieve the full transparency, visibility and traceability of dynamic cross-border and global food supply chains, which is critical to ensure food safety and quality, due to: the personalization and globalization of consumer demands; the diversities of food products, raw materials and ingredients; the loose relationships between food business partners; the technology and resource barriers in aligning business processes, coordinating and sharing information; and the changing government supervision mechanisms and standards. Social networking technologies and social software are promising enablers to facilitate end consumers, food companies and government agencies to participate in open discussion, comments and feedback on the quality and safety of cross-border foods. They are able to connect, interact, communicate and collaborate with each other in loose, open, effective and flexible ways for enhancing the transparency and visibility of cross-border and global food supply chains through collective wisdom and intelligence. In this paper a framework is proposed for developing social networks enabling food traceability systems, which not only leverages enterprise Manuscript received November 8, 2013.

“…This behaviour contributes for the production of safer foods of recognized quality. According to the concepts of Integrated Production (IP), traceability systems and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), competitiveness is decisive to the primary sector (Fachinello et al, 2004;Regattieri et al, 2007). Recent food safety records show that about seven million people per year are affected by foodborne illnesses.…”

“…Recent food safety records show that about seven million people per year are affected by foodborne illnesses. As a result, consumers require suitable information about food origin, composition and safeness, which can only be guaranteed by an efficient tracking-tracing system (Sarig et al, 2006;Regattieri et al, 2007).…”

Traceability is becoming the most effective method to provide a safer food chain and connection producers to consumers. This paper report the application and validation of a traceability system on the production chain of peaches, according the rules for Integrated Production of Peach (IP) and a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems. The harvesting plots were discriminated using a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. The horticultural practices were registered in a field book according to the Brazilian IP rules. Boxes to transport the fruit, from the orchard on, were barcode labelled to identify the fruits in terms of origin (orchard and harvesting plot), cultivar, quality, picking date and time. Arriving in the factory, by an optical barcode reading device, the fruits in the boxes were assigned to homogeneous batches. Peach cans were labelled according to their corresponding batch number and monitored based on physical and chemical analysis as preconized by the IP rules and HACCP system. An electronic data base was set up and placed over the Internet. Using the batch number, the history of each peaches can could be traceable back to their harvesting plot. Therefore, manufacturers can monitor the product at any time and take any necessary action, such as product recall and/or product reprocessing.
