Food traceability helps track the movement of a food product and its ingredients through all steps in the supply chain, forward and backward. It involves documenting and linking the production, processing, and distribution of different food products and ingredients. It helps governing authorities in product tracing during the outbreak of a foodborne illness to find the source of the product rapidly and where the contamination may have occurred. This enables faster removal of the affected product from the marketplace, thereby reducing incidences of foodborne illnesses. 

Food Traceability Market Trends:

With the growing global supply chain, food safety is becoming a significant concern for consumers and regulators. This, coupled with the increasing number of deaths on account of food contamination, represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, food traceability is a part of an overall cost-effective quality management system that can also aid in the continuous minimization of the impact of safety hazards. It also facilitates the rapid recall of products and the determination and settlement of liabilities. Besides this, food traceability aids in building trust and increasing certainty in food processing operations. This, along with the rising requirement for transparent information about the entire food chain, supported by modern tracking and tracing methods, is fueling the growth of the market. Furthermore, there is a rise in the adoption of blockchain technologies in food traceability, which enhances the ability to validate and authenticate food origin and improves brand credibility. Additionally, they help prevent fraud, enhance the capacity to better tackle outbreaks, minimize food testing expenses, and increase margins. This is projected to drive the market in the upcoming years.
