Traceability, recalls, industry reputation and product safety
研究了可追溯性如何通过限制召回规模来保护行业声誉，并分析了在竞争性行业和集体行动设定规则的行业中可追溯性与食品安全水平的关系。
Sometimes, authorities are unable to rapidly identify the origin of a tainted product. In such cases, recalls or warnings often apply to all suppliers, even to those that had not contributed to the contamination. Traceability enables more targeted recalls by identifying the product's origin more specifically. In this article, we show how increased traceability protects the reputation of industries by limiting the size of recalls. We show the relationships between traceability and the level of food safety with many identical small farms in a competitive industry and for an industry using collective action to set rules and standards. , Oxford University Press.
