The right to know This serious late-20th-century challenge to the global food chain provided the impetus for the establishment of food traceability systems. These systems store information about how plants and animals have been raised, produced and transported, making it transparent and traceable in order to improve the quality and safety of food products.
這起 20 世紀末全球食品鏈面臨嚴峻考驗的事件，直接形成了一股推動「食品追溯系統」的壓力與契機，經由物種培育、產製與流通過程的資訊化、透明化與可追溯性，來提升食品品質與安全。
