SEVERAL TRACE MEMBERS CITED IN NEW SCIENTIST ARTICLE
Mason Inman has recently interviewed several members of TRACE to understand food traceability better. Under the title “Fifty ways to interrogate your dinner” he has published then an article in the June 16th, 2009 edition of the New Scientist, an accomplished magazine for the dissemination of science. The New Scientist, being published in paper now for over 50 years, attracts about 2 million users each month for its electronic publication and another 800,000 for its printed edition.
Mason has done a pretty good job in summarising traceability and the determination of origin, so it is probably worthwhile to have a look at the original article.

PIG MEAT TRACEABILITY NOT WORKING
The report on the Irish pig meat contamination last December says a forensic recall of contaminated product was not possible and a 100% recall was necessitated for a 10% contamination rate. It says that a full traceability of batches at slaughter should be introduced.

COST, BUYER COMMITMENT CAUSE QUESTIONS FOR TRACEBACK INITIATIVE
The Produce Traceability Initiative is being paid for upfront by growers without any immediate return from the market, and the new system could be ‘dead weight’ if it doesn’t provide a marketing tool at the consumer level.
