This paper presents the concerns for the safety of consumers, in relation to phytosanitary issues; residues of crop protection products and bio-terrorism. Traceability gives the ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food-producing animal or substance intended to be or expected to be incorporated into a food or feed in all stages of production, processing or distribution. It is also a verifiable method of identification of fields, growers, locations and produce in all packaging and transport/shortage configurations at all stages of the supply chain. According to the legislation, if any food is unsafe and is part of a batch, lot or consignment of food of the same class or description, it shall be presumed that all the food in that batch, lot or consignment is also unsafe
