2014 - Traceability System in the Food Chain: Design and Implementation with Special Focus on Food Safety

Instructor: Rotimi Toki
Description:
The escalating and heavily publicized outbreaks of foodborne diseases have raised awareness of the need to ensure food quality and safety. This need drives much of the innovation to trace food consistently and efficiently from the point of origin to the point of consumption (from farm to fork). In addition, regulations, international standards and commercial standards require traceability systems but none is prescriptive in the way traceability is achieved. This is because many options are available. This issue highlight the practical difficulties in designing a traceability system.
Given the role of traceability in protecting consumers, ensuring food safety, and managing reputational risks and liability, it is vital that businesses that trades in food at all stages of the food chain plays their role in collecting and storing information about raw materials and ingredients, products and processes under their control. This webinar will discuss how traceability systems should be underpinned by adherence to appropriate legislation and accepted good practice.
Why Should you Attend:
Attend this webinar to learn the principles and basic system requirements for the design and implementation of a traceability system. The training will show how to use traceability as a vital component in the recall process also as a management tool to enable necessary action to be taken if food is found to be potentially non-conforming.
This session will show several examples of traceability plans. We will discuss how to keep associated records and being able to make traceability information available to the competent authorities on demand in a timely manner. On completion of the training the participants will be able to identify the key points where traceability is read and applied or transferred with the product, with the records taken.
