Abstract
The study revealed a thriving Nigerian food industry and policymakers toward understanding food traceability systems in three ways. Firstly, a realistic strategy toward supply chain visibility. Secondly, verify the concept relating to the implementation of documentation and technological innovations. Thirdly, emphasized the significance of food safety and food recall taking into account current status and future needs and how a traceability system would be realized in the poultry sector by giving a clear roadmap for technology. Also the work explained the current state of the two most practiced method of poultry production; backyard and commercial scale was also investigated.
Highlights
Food traceability is a role in logistics management that collects, keeps, and transmits sufficient data about a food, feed, food-producing animal or food constituent at all steps throughout the food journey so that it can be checked for safety and quality control, traced forward and tracked backwards at any given time [1] from farm to fork
This paper aims to contribute to the thriving Nigerian food industry and policymakers toward understanding food traceability systems in three ways
Safety and security are the essence of food traceability, globalization of the food market mounts pressure on the food industry and governments to provide a proper control of the quality of imported and exported food product
Summary
Food traceability is a role in logistics management that collects, keeps, and transmits sufficient data about a food, feed, food-producing animal or food constituent at all steps throughout the food journey so that it can be checked for safety and quality control, traced forward and tracked backwards at any given time [1] from farm to fork. It is part of strengthening relationships with consumers and giving them what they want, the ability to trust and understand what they are eating been it organic, vegetarian, kosher, halal or health-related required food. Only but a few studies exist on food traceability from producers’ point of view on poultry products
