Product Traceability System – Transparency and Trust in Food Safety

What is a product traceability system?
A product traceability system is a management mechanism applied to document and track each stage of the production, processing, storage and sale process of food products. Through this system, all information about where, how and by whom the product was produced, what raw materials it was made from and under what conditions it was transported is easily accessible.

Requirements for the product traceability system in Azerbaijani legislation
According to the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On Food Safety”, traceability of all stages of food products from the producer to the consumer must be ensured. Producers and catering establishments must provide accurate and verifiable information about the origin, movement route and storage conditions of the product.

Benefits of a product traceability system for entrepreneurs
 Ensuring transparency – tracking all stages in the production and sales chain
 Increasing consumer confidence – providing clear and accurate information about the product
 Compliance with legal requirements – ease of state inspections and certification
 Ability to carry out operational recalls – quick response in case of a problem with the product
 Expansion of export opportunities – compliance with standards required by international markets
 Strengthening quality management – optimization of production processes
