ABOUT THE FORUM
In the last couple of years, incidents of problematic or contaminated food such as gutter oil, melamine-tainted milk powder and freshwater fish with Malachite Green have aroused public concern on food safety. The food industry is becoming more customer-oriented and it requires faster response to deal with food scandals and incidents. However, the current food product information management process cannot guarantee that the food is authentic, in good quality and safe. International standards, interoperability between buyers and suppliers as well as traceability methodology, are therefore, crucial to minimise the production and distribution of unsafe or low quality products, thereby eliminating the potential for negative publicity, liability, and recalls.
With better food traceability to track and trace the food and source of all inputs forwards and backwards, such as feed, ingredients and packaging, through all stages of production, processing and distribution, the industry can prevent contaminated products from reaching consumers and minimise risks to the public.
