What is the basis for Can-Trace standards?
• One of the requirements from industry was that the standards created for food product traceability in Canada must be internationally compatible, whole chain in scope, capable of accommodating multiple commodities and flexible enough to enable integration and leveraging of other systems. The EAN.UCC system together with ISO formed the foundation for Can-Trace standards. These standards meet the identified requirements and are widely adopted in many countries for traceability and product identification.
