Article 18 of General Food Law (GFL) says that

•Traceability is defined as “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.

•Every manufacturer should be able to tell where all ingredients are coming from, in which these are processed and where the end-product currently is.

•Each warehouse has to be able to tell where the food is coming from and where it went to. In case there is a ‘call-back’ a warehouse needs to provide this data within 6 hours.
