Sasaki, S. (University of Asahikawa, Hokkaido (Japan))
At present, the traceability system is being used by the domestic livestock industry to create brand loyalty by displaying information on the producing region. Looking at the traceability of beef in Japan from the standpoint of safety, the system is currently used only in direct marketing routes between cattle ranches and consumer groups, but has not been established for the traditional route from cattle ranches to processors/distributors to consumers. The original purpose of the traceability system was to guarantee food safety. Therefore, it should be linked with HACCP in the production and distribution systems for agricultural and livestock products. In order to expand domestic beef production and supply consumers with safe beef produced under a HACCP system, financial and technical support must be provided by national and local governments. It will also be important for consumers to understand that higher beef prices will be necessary to ensure beef safety.
