Food industry looks to RFID tags to control recalls

摘要

Toronto - Recalls are a fact of life for the food industry, and RFID traceability can help minimize their impact, according to Ed Treacy. "Recalls happen every week in the grocery chain," the senior vice-president of logistics for grocery giant Sobeys said. And they're "hugely disruptive" to the business. Whole-chain traceability can narrow the scope of recalls and minimize disruption, Treacy told the audience at a panel discussion on traceability at the EPCglobal Canadian Conference 2005.
