Biometric TRACEO traces and monitors product quality

In the past 10 years, many major crises in the field of food hygiene, such as bird flu, mad cow disease, listeriosis, dioxins, foot-and-mouth disease, etc., have caused consumer trust in food quality or even the entire food industry. With a shake, people have a high degree of vigilance in food consumption. More and more descriptions of quality labels and origins have also been added to food packaging. The purpose is to track and manage the entire processing process from food manufacturing to consumption.

Nowadays, French CRYOLOG company has found a solution to this problem, in order to avoid the public health hazard caused by the interruption of the food cold chain, so that the degree of food preservation at an optimal level. TRACEO tags are used in conjunction with bar codes to use microbiology to simulate the true metamorphic process of products to monitor the shelf life of products that have been labeled with such tags.

The TRACEO label is a unique food preservation tracking management technology in the world, and is specifically applied to the tracking management of fresh foods sold in supermarkets and take-out foods in the catering industry. In addition, it also has other extensive uses, such as the tracking management of products such as vaccines and blood.

The TRACEO tag is a new generation of self-adhesive labels that integrates time and temperature parameters. Based on the characteristics of the product to be tracked and managed, a special program is prepared to monitor the product after it is interrupted by freezing. TRACEO is composed of a salt and food microorganisms. When the frozen chain interruption time reaches a certain limit, or when the product reaches the consumption expiration period under proper storage conditions, the color of TRACEO will change, and the original transparent logo will become Not transparent, this means that the product can no longer be eaten. When used in combination with a bar code, the bar code cannot be read once it has become opaque, thereby automatically detecting foods that are no longer edible.

The TRACEO tag has been activated during installation. After the customer initiates the function, the TRACEO tag can track the preservation of fresh products from the industrial production chain through the logistics and retail distribution to the refrigerator in the consumer's home.

Since the invention of the TRACEO label, CRYOLOG has won 15 awards, including the 2005 Oscar Packaging Award and the “Innovation Award at the crossroads of food industry suppliers” and was rewarded by the French Innovation Agency. The TRACEO label has also been trusted by the scientific community and industry, and has been adopted by some large restaurants and retailers. For example, ELIOR, which ranks second in the European catering industry, and 60 supermarkets in the retail industry, has an annual turnover of 10 billion. EURO CORA.
