Traceability and Management

The Traceability and Management section of the Food Safety Performance World Ranking Initiative is unique in this study as it only comprises one outcome. This focus on traceability underscores the importance on a country’s food safety system that a deep and effective traceability system can have. From a Canadian perspective, this is also an area where Canada significantly lags behind its Food Safety Performance World Ranking Initiative peers, although it performs no better or worse than the United States.

In addition to exploring the Food Safety Performance World Ranking Initiative ranking, criteria, and country‐by‐country data, this chapter also explores the importance of the international CODEX Alimentarius standard, particularly as it applies to issues of food system tractability. Also covered are the Canadian peculiarities, the role of business in setting up a traceability system (should it be organized from a top‐down or bottom‐up perspective?), and two examples of Canadian food crisis and the role that our traceability system played. Finally, with the modern, globalized food industry, traceability (like many food safety concerns) is closely related to questions of trade, technology, and the evolution of food safety systems in the future.
