Transparency and Traceability in Food Supply Chains

Transparency into what goes into products we consume and traceability into where their inputs and components come from are becoming increasingly important to consumers and governments around the world. Consumers want clearer information on food products and more detailed intelligence along value chains. Many governments have implemented, or are considering, policies that require companies to provide greater transparency and traceability in three major areas: ingredients and nutritional labeling, labor practices, and sustainable production practices.
