TRACE: Delivering Integrated Traceability Systems that will enhance Consumer Confidence in the Authenticity of Food
Project
Project code: BfR-LMS-08-1342-404
Contract period: 01.01.2005
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Applied research
The 5 years project sponsored by the European Commission through the Sixth Framework Programme will provide consumers with added confidence in the authenticity of European food through complete traceability along entire fork to farm food chains. TRACE will develop cost effective analytical methods integrated within sector-specific and -generic traceability systems that will enable the determination and the objective verification of the origin of food. It will focus firstly on meat, cereals, honey, olive oil and mineral water but will have wider applicability to other commodities.TRACE will also assess European consumer perceptions, attitudes, and expectations regarding food production systems and their ability-to-trace food products, together with, consumer attitudes to designated origin products, food authenticity and food fraud. It will develop a ?Good Traceability Practice? guide for food production systems. A programme of demonstration activities performed by the food industry will critically appraise of the developed traceability systems to ensure they are cost effective and fit for purpose. Technology transfer activities will train industry, regulatory bodies and analysts in the new systems and methods.
