According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), total global capture and aquaculture production of fish reached over 177 million tons in 2012. With greater demands, there will be a need for the seafood industry to trace products from the sea to the store to focus on food safety as well as efficient business practices. A new report issued by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Global Food Traceability Center (GFTC) at Seafood Expo North America highlights the growing need for traceability as a means to improving seafood industry performance, including reducing waste and enhancing consumer trust.
