Food Safety Dilemma

Most of the recent food scare problems have originated at the production end of the food chain.

Upon discovery, items are often tracked back to the processing stage only.

All have started as input bulk materials, yet end up as discrete ingredients for end products.

How can we have safer foods and still be economically efficient?

How does supply chain logistics address foodtraceability?

How does quality control/management systemsaddress food traceability?

How can integrating supply chain logistics withquality control/management systems, or “FullBody Traceability,” address food traceability?

2. Farm/Elevator Traceability Data Management

Project ObjectivesProvide information about specific production

practices (IP, organic, etc.).Visualization of traceability data and make use of

GIS to study the relationships betweenenvironment and production parcels.

Creation of information system that is compliantwith legal requirements (e.g., FDABioterrorism Act, ISO 22000 Series).

• Internal grain movement often goes unrecorded

• Grain lots are divisible• Lot identity is not maintained

Future Direction

• Where are logistics and quality systems leading us?

– Upcoming Project—To determine traceability accuracy; from parent seed company to end customer—miller, barge terminal, and ethanol plant (including DDGS by-products).

Optimal Traceability Stems From:Well Connected/Interactive/Sharing of Data.Rigorous Auditing/Testing Tied to GS1 System Software.Effective & Efficient Synergies by Integrating Logistics &

Quality Systems.

Full-Body Traceability

Benefits of Integration:Logistics & QM Systems are Already Established—

No New Systems Are Needed.Improves Recall by Identifying Items that Are, from those

that Are Not, of Focus.The Strengthens of One Helps the Weaknesses of the Other.

Food & Agricultural Traceability ConferenceDes Moines, Iowa, USA

June 9 - 10, 2009 (Conference)June 11, 2009 (Workshop)

For more information on the Conference, Workshop, or to register, visit: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/grain

Interactive sessions focused on;• Adding value to agricultural commodity products using traceability.• Why adopt traceability?• What are risks and rewards of traceability for agricultural & food businesses?• How can traceability help meet the needs of modern food & agricultural businesses?
