Traceability is an integral part of food law designed to protect the consumer from food safety risk, fraud and quality issues. It is enabled by systems and processes. Transparency goes beyond traceability in that it can only be achieved if everybody works together in an open and honest way.

It also helps to manage incidents more quickly and effectively, thereby sustaining brand integrity.
