TRACEBACK

Integrated system for a reliable traceability of food supply chains

TRACEBACK is an integrated project supported by the European FP6 with the aim to create a standard European traceability system applicable to the entire food supply chain and involving its key players from field to shelf.

The strength of TRACEBACK derives from the joint effort of 28 partners representing 11 EU countries that allows the integration of essential worldwide competences in the food sector, ICT and microdevices.

A key novelty of this project is the demonstration of a working traceability model that will assure the sharing of reliable information along the food chain by anchoring the product flow with the information flow.
