India needs more effort
2005年1月4天
A LARGE number of Indian food and marine exporters were "inadequately prepared" to meet the requirements of the US Bio Terrorism Law, according to Mr Ravi Mathur, CEO, EAN India a non-profit organisation set up by the Commerce Ministry and industry bodies to promote global supply chain standards. The US Bio-Terrorism law mandates prior registration of food suppliers with the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). It also requires all foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food for human or animal consumption in the US to create and maintain records that are necessary to identify the immediate previous source and the immediate subsequent recipients of food i.e., where it came from and where it went. To enable food exporters comply with this traceability requirement, EAN India has brought out its traceability guidelines in different food segments covering meat, fresh fruits and vegetables and marine products.
Food Traceability 2006 conference will be held on February 1-2 2006 in Dallas, USA. This hot topic is driven by health scares, bioterrorism and new laws. It will become the largest RFID application but we cover DNA and many other vital technologies as well. For further details please visit www.trackingfood.com
