Traceability/product tracing is the ability to follow the movement of a food through specified stage(s) of production, processing and distribution. It can be limited to critical points along the supply chain (e.g. livestock), or be “full-chain” from farm to fork e.g. meat and fresh produce). 

The objective of the Enterprise Infrastructure Traceability (EIT) Program is to have increased implementation of facility-based traceability systems across the agri-food chain in primary and secondary agri-food production sectors.

Success of the program will be measured by the number of on-farm and post-farm businesses having implemented traceability initiatives, by commodity or industry groups (as per the North American Industry Classification System).

EIT Program will assist producers/farmers, food processors and agri-food businesses by assisting with specific costs relating to the purchase and installation of traceability infrastructure, and the training of staff to implement traceability systems for plants, animals and agri-food products.
