Using RFID tags to improve food safety

"Recent food security scares have triggered public outcries and intense concern. People want to know exactly what is in their food, and what is done to it by whom. In response, Canada and many other countries are introducing traceability requirements – records that track all links in the food supply chain, from farmers to processors to retailers to consumers. In the coming years, entire industries will be affected, and many are looking to RFID to automate tracking." Source: itworldcanada.com
