Business case for you?
Food alerts for meat
2013
• up to 100 % horse meat in
o Tesco spaghetti bolognese
o Findus lasagne
• horse meat scandal

Since 1989
• BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)
• commonly known as mad cow disease
Rationale
• Consumer’s interest in origin, animal welfare, food safety and not only price
• Authorities, consumers and meat supply chain partners require provenance
data in case of a meat related food safety alert
• Beef: because of BSE
• Other types of meat: EU regulation 1169/2011 now beef, in 2014 other meat
• Real time and all the time information and not only retrospective in case of
food safety alerts and also to quality issues
• All information wanted by consumers and other parties should be provided
by supply chain partners and transported along the supply chain.

Transparency for 3 groups of end-users
5 functions required (1)
1. Populating EPCIS repositories with meat transparency data
o

o
o

Upload EPCIS events, e.g.
birth, breeding, fattening, slaughtering, cutting, packing/unpacking,
sending/receiving and selling
Not to be developed within MIP trial
Obtaining event data from ERP systems and FMIS

2. Accessing transparency data by businesses and government
o
o

GUI for standard EPCIS query operations , i.e. queries for specific
business locations, processes, products, time intervals, etc.
Questions on a product:
 “Where does a product come from?”
 “When did it arrive?”
 “What raw material was used to produce it ?
5 functions required (2)
3. Discovery of traceability data sources (incl. administration)
o

who has information about a specific product, identified via Global
Trade Item Number (GTIN) + lot or serial number or a shipment
identified via a Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)) in order to
reconstruct the entire chain of custody

4. Aggregation of traceability information
o
o
o

based on the 2 previous functions
automated collection and aggregation of traceability information of a
product
Authorized requester should get:
 place/ date of birth, date/ location of slaughtering of the
processed animals
 list of all parties who had custody of a product
 list of distribution centres/ retail stores a product of concern has
been shipped to
5 functions required (3)
5. Accessing transparency data by consumers (B2C)
o
o

function similar to previous one, but for consumer
what kind of information
 dynamic data: date of slaughtering, place of birth, etc.), but also
static product (weight, ingredients, etc.
 master data: location of the slaughterhouse, etc.
 marketing information: pictures, certificates, videos, etc.
o not allowing tracking of products
From requirements to apps
• Requirement 1: to be developed as generic app, relevant for
more trials
• Requirement 5: to be developed together with the trial on
Tailored Information for Consumers

• Requirement 2, 3 and 4 should be developed by new partners
entering FIspace’s MIP trial through the open call
Business cases for consumers
Consumers
• Be informed by smartphone/website on
– dynamic data: date of slaughtering, place of birth, etc.), but also static
product (weight, ingredients, etc.
– master data: location of the slaughterhouse, etc.
– marketing information: pictures, certificates, videos, recipes, etc.
• Meat related information will be filtered cf. interests

Retailers
• Can provide an enhanced consumer experience with
– Proven history of the meat item
– Brand-like name and approval stamp
Business cases for meat supply chain partners
Farmers
– direct link to consumers
• facilitating differentiation of products from those of other farms
• Investments on e.g. animal welfare or sustainable production can be
communicated to consumers

Farmers, slaughterhouses and meat processor
– products can be better based on requirements of consumers and meat
supply chain partners
– it will facilitate optimising every partner’s business process and
improve investment decisions.
Business cases for regulators/authorities
Authorities
• In case of meat alerts:
–
–
–
–

Easier control and regulation enforcement
New system enables a fast, effective, surgical response
with less critique by the media and the general public
resulting in more confidence and trust in the responsible authorities.

Society as a whole
• The new system makes investing in sustainable production
and animal welfare more lucrative.
• Moreover, no general alarms are required in case of meat
alerts.
Why should you join the team?
• Large impact on society
• Funded app development is seed for many more projects, i.e.
– Develop apps funded by EC
– Roll-out after end of FIspace

• A proposal for a FI-PPP phase 3 project is under construction:
– Transparency Fresh Food supply chains
– More types of fresh food (several meat types, fruits & vegetables,
bakery, etc.)
– More fresh food supply chains (> 1000 supermarket chains in Europe)
