Abstract:

Food traceability system has become one of the most important methods to rapidly identify the key causes of
problems and ensure food safety, and has been greatly developed all over the world. However, how to maintain the high
efficiency of a food traceability system is another significant issue. In this paper, we analyze a recent report from US FDA
in 2012 with regard to performance evaluation of food traceability system along the food supply system, and discuss how
research methods and recommendations from the report could provide any references and suggestions for our future work.

Key words: food traceability system, performance evaluation, suggestions, food safety
