    The key takeaways are the goals of the training which are to understand definitions, importance, and implementation of traceability systems according to EU requirements.

    The goals of the training are to understand definitions of traceability, outline importance of traceability systems, understand EU legislative requirements of traceability, implement and manage company's traceability system, understand and participate in product recalls, guide outgrowers, and maintain traceability records.

    According to EU legislation, traceability is defined as 'the ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food producing animal or substance intended to be or expected to be incorporated into a food or feed, through all stages of production, processing and distribution'.

    PURPOSE OF THIS TRAINING

    Equip technical staff and managers to manage the traceability system manually Technical staff are to have the ability to train & Guide outgrower farmers to implement traceability systems The traceability system must comply with EU provisions
    1

    The Training Goals


    By the end of this training, you must be able to; Know the definitions of traceability Outline the importance of traceability systems Understand the EU legislative requirements of traceability Implement and manage the companys traceability system Understand and be able to efficiently participate in a company product recall exercise Guide outgrowers to implement the traceability system on their farms Maintain traceability records

    Traceability, where does it start?

    Traceability must start from primary production. That is, right on the farm!

    How is Traceability Defined?


    EU 178/2002 the ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food producing animal or substance intended to be or expected to be incorporated into a food or feed, through all stages of production, processi ng and distribution (article 3 (15)) (OJL 2002)

    How is Traceability Defined?


    ISO 8402:1994

    the ability to trace the history or location of an article or an activity, or similar articles or activities, by means of recorded identifiers

    How is Traceability Defined?


    CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION

    the ability to follow the movem ent of a food through specified stage(s) of production, processi ng and distribution

    How is Traceability Defined?


    USA Food & Drug Administration

    the ability to identify by means of pap er or electronic records a food produc t and its producer, from where and w hen it came, and to where and when it was sent (OECD, 2003).
    7

    Why Implement Traceability?


    prove that you comply with specification requirements, or that you have taken all the necessary measures concerning: Product manufacture Compliance with technical specifications Crisis management THIS IS CALLED CUSTOMER APPROACH
    8

    Why Implement Traceability?


    to trace the history of a product in case a problem should arise and to have access to a system of proofs in order to : trace the products (product lot or unit) throughout the products life cycle; communicate adequate information about the manufacture of the product and its specific associated characteristics to clients and partners ; retrieve and store data on a given product/process and determine the respective responsibilities in case a problem should arise. THIS IS CALLED FOOD SAFETY APPROACH

    Why Implement Traceability?


    to comply with regulations Provisions concerning traceability are applicable to all products in EU countries as from January 1st, 2005 identification of suppliers and direct clients; other obligations: identification of the products packing agent, respect of pesticide maximum residue limits. THIS IS CALLED REGULATORY APPROACH
    10

    Why Implement Traceability?


    to record and utilise the historical background of the main processes used by suppliers and the company in order to improve operations in general : improve overall company organisation and production processes; correction of the related manufacturing process, when the latter is observed to be the cause of product nonconformity; monitoring the efficiency of implemented corrective actions; managing relations with the outgrowers and suppliers. THIS IS CALLED BUSINESS MANAGEMENT APPROACH

    What are the benefits of Traceability


    The Consumer Enables real choice to be exercised between foods made in different ways Provides information on food ingredients in case of allergenicity Supports consumers right to know where the food comes from and identify the responsible organisation Provides a basis for verifying specific information about the product
    12

    What are the benefits of Traceability


    The Company
    Facilitates the withdrawal and or recall of product in case of an incident Helps to minimise the size of any withdrawal or recall and therefore reduces the cost to be incurred in a food incident Provides a system of records which can help to review operations for improvement Assists technical staff and managers to investigate product non-conformity Assists the company to easily keep track with production inputs Helps to create an efficient and coordinated way of identifying fruit suppliers
    13

    What are the benefits of Traceability


    The Competent Authorities The EU/Governments Protects public health through withdrawal/recall of products Helps prevent fraud in cases where analysis cannot be used for authenticity In livestock rearing, helps to monitor livestock numbers for subsidy claim

    THE EU RCEABILITY REGULATION


    EU legislation related to food safety and traceability is primarily based on

    two texts :
    1. COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/43/EEC of June 14, 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, 2. REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002 of January 28, 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety
    30

    THE EU RCEABILITY REGULATION


    THE COMBINED AIM OF THE TWO TEXTS:

    To ensure food safety at all levels of the food production chain, from primary production (including animal feed) down to sale or supply of food to the consumer.

    31

    THE EU RCEABILITY REGULATION


    THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION EC 178/2002 ON TRACEABILITY ARE: Food Business organisations must be able to identify their suppliers of food, food-producing animals and any other substance intended or expected to be incorporated into food; identify the businesses to which they have supplied products; and produce this information to the competent authorities on demand.
    32

    TRCEABILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS


    TO CONDUCT A TRACEABILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS MEANS To access what the law requires Analyse what the customers expects Analyse how to use traceability to improve company operations Establish the data to be collected for traceability

    33
