2. Traceability is not new! 1700 BCMesopotamian shepherds mark animals with different colors 7thCenturyChina tattoos breed horses 1556Venice hires food inspectors 1714France outlaws un-inspected meat 1750-90UK pass variety of food safety laws 1875 Marking of U.S. livestock with tags

3. W HAT IS T RACEABILITY ? T RACEABILITY : “ THE ABILITY TO TRACE THE HISTORY, APPLICATIONOR LOCATIONOF THAT WHICH IS UNDER CONSIDERATION ” (ISO) T RACING : L OOKING BACK T RACKING :L OOKING FORWARD

4. S UPPLY C HAIN F LOW

5. W HAT IS T RACEABILITY ? *A traceability system is driven by information and must answer these questions: What is the product? How much is there? Where did it originate? Where is it/Who has it now?

6. W HAT T RACEABILITY IS N OT ? Traceability ≠safe food Traceability does notprevent animal disease Traceability is nota prerequisite for safe food or healthy plants and animals Traceability is notdriven by technology

7. S TEPS ON THE P ATHWAY TO T RACEABILITY Discovery of pathogenic organisms Establishment of control mechanisms Spread of international rules and compliance Business efficiency and supply chaineffectiveness

8. D RIVERS : W HY IS T RACEABILITY I MPORTANT ? Media attention on food safety & quality issues Globalization of the Market Increasing liability and litigation Huge economic interests at stake Supply chains have become complex

9. W HY DO C OMPANIES I NVEST IN T RACEABILITY
