About the Program
Development of a Food Traceability framework will
help standardise data sharing along the supply chain
The Implementing Food Traceability Program is an initiative of the Deakin University’s Food Traceability Lab and industry sponsors – recognising the need for end-to-end traceability is a key supply chain challenge that extends beyond any single organisation.
The Program commenced on 1 July, 2020.
Stage 1: Development of a generic Food Traceability Guide to help companies identify the critical tracking events of the product journey
Stage 2: Development of product-specific guides and value stream guides (e.g. organics or Halal) to support product claims.
Stage 3: Testing the guides in real industry settings using technology and IT systems and solutions.
Stage 4: Preparation of e-learning resources for industry on supply chain traceability
Stage 5: Evaluation of the benefits to businesses across food supply chains
