To provide a product history management apparatus capable of managing a history of a product from its production to delivery to consumers. Label IDs are issued for all steps from raw material production to retail product production (retailer and food-service distributor)and are associated to keep a history of the label IDs, making it possible to grasp a production or distribution history from raw material production to final product production. A label management server issues a label ID and label issuing apparatuses provided for each step print labels. The label management server manages the history of the label IDs and the label issuing apparatuses manage detailed information related to products in each step. Detailed information related to the product can be stored while being distributed to each label issuing apparatus, making it possible to reduce a load on the label management server. IMAGE
