17、8:2015(E)IntroductionThere are increasing demands for detailed information on the nature and origin of food products. Traceability is becoming a legal and commercial necessity.The ISO definition of traceability concerns the ability to trace the history, application, and location of that which is und
18、er consideration and for products, this can include the origin of food materials and non-food parts; thereof, the processing history and the distribution and location of the product after delivery. Traceability includes not only the principal requirement to be able to physically trace products throu
19、gh the distribution chain from origin to destination and vice versa, but also to be able to provide information on what they are made of and what has happened to them. These further aspects of traceability are important in relation to food safety, quality, and labelling.The scheme specified in this
20、International Standard does not demand perfect traceability, i.e. that a particular retail product should be traceable back to a hatchery and or farm and batch of origin. Pragmatically, it is recognized that mixing of animals or materials is often commercially necessary at a number of stages in the
21、distribution chains, e.g. in grading at first sale prior to sale and in the processing of raw materials into products. As a result, there will be occasions where whole chain traceability of materials and products is neither possible nor commercially practical. These limitations are to be recognized
22、and taken into consideration when auditing against this International Standard and are not to preclude compliance so as to disadvantage, otherwise compliant operators. Where such mixing necessarily occurs, the food business shall generate a trade unit or units only from the point that identification
23、 of units is possible. The requirement for traceability is that the business records the IDs of created or received trade units that can be input into each subsequently created unit, thereafter and vice versa. The particular product or products are then traceable through the supply chain (as far as
24、is practical) to generate information on the maximum number of stages of the chain as possible.Given the variety of molluscan products and of their distribution chains that operate within and between different countries and varying legal requirements, the information specifications cannot itemise al
25、l the information that may possibly be required in every situation. This International Standard provides a generic basis for traceability. Flexibility is allowed for businesses to record further information in their own non-standardised files, but keyed to the same unit IDs.The information remains i
26、n the ownership of the food business that generated it, but is available when required by law for the purposes of traceability (in the event of a food safety problem) or by commercial agreement between businesses. The structure, names, and content of the information is standardised so that it can be
27、 readily communicated from business to business through the distribution chains ensuring common understanding of terms and meanings.Commercial arrangements for businesses to communicate information through the distribution chains are to be encouraged, particularly for the information desired by the
28、trade to be visible at the various transaction points in the chains, but that is not the subject of this International Standard.Though this International Standard is designed with electronic representation and communication of data in mind, the specifications can be met by paper systems.

30、alopods) in order to establish the traceability of products originating from farm-raised molluscs. It specifies how molluscan products traded are to be identified and the information to be generated and held on those products by each of the food businesses that physically trade them through the dist
31、ribution chains. It is specific to the distribution for human consumption of molluscs and their products from farm through to retailers or caterers.The types of businesses identified in this International Standard for farmed molluscan distribution chains are the following: farming;a) broodstock supp
32、liers/natural seed collectors;b) hatcheries and nurseries;c) molluscan farm;d) harvesting; depuration and shucking etc.; processors; transporters and store operators; traders and wholesalers; retailers and caterers; logistics including materials brought from other domains; feed production.Any given
33、molluscan distribution chain can be made up of some or all of the above components, but not necessarily in the sequence listed.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
