Food Traceability: New Directions and Current Advances.

The food industry is becoming more customer-centric and requires faster reaction times in order to manage food crises and catastrophes. Effective traceability systems reduce the risk of negative publicity, litigation, and recalls by preventing the creation and sale of dangerous or inferior items. The current system of food labeling is unable to ensure that food is genuine, of good quality, and safe. As a result, traceability is used to help ensure food safety and quality while also increasing customer confidence. Food safety has elevated to a global priority in recent decades. Food safety concerns consumers, producers, and regulatory authorities all, and traceability systems are crucial in resolving these challenges. As a result, several techniques for maintaining proper traceability in the food industry have been devised. Document-based systems, information and communication technologies, alphanumerical codes, barcodes, holograms, radio-frequency identification, nuclear processes, and nanotechnology are all covered in depth in this article. Immunoassays, DNA polymerase chain reaction, omics, and isotope ratio analysis are among the primary approaches for food traceability analysis covered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
