“…The RFID tags offer wireless systems for monitoring the food packages via computer systems and tags readers. These are employed extensively in the food industries to facilitate traceability and provide instant information about tracking and stock rotation thereby improving the effectiveness of supply chains . Nonetheless, SP systems have advanced so fast recently due to innovative research studies in this field to deliver shelf stable, safe, and wholesome food products.…”

“…Many manufacturing companies, material flow systems, and distribution logisticians are acquainted with automatic identification measures. In the past few years, the RFID technology has emerged as a novel approach for storing and communicating real‐time information of the agri‐food products for automatic identification and traceability by using RF electromagnetic fields without human intervention . Earlier, the traceability systems performed manually were time consuming and had low precision and accuracy in measurements.…”

The food packaging sector has experienced much development since its inception. In the past few decades, innovations in packaging sector have led to the development of smart packaging (SP) systems that carve a niche in a highly competitive food industry. SP systems have great potential for improving the shelf‐life, and safety of food products apart from their basic roles of protecting the products against unwanted biological, chemical, and physical damage and keeping them clean. Indicators and sensors, SP components, are used for real‐time monitoring of meat quality and subsequently inform the retailers and consumers about the freshness, microbiological, temperature, and shelf life status of the products. Barcodes and radio‐frequency identification tags are employed in meat packaging for real‐time information about the authenticity, and traceability of the products in the supply chain. Recently, innovations in SP technologies resulted in fast, sensitive, and effective detection, sensing, and record keeping of freshness, microbiological, and shelf life status of meat and meat products. The SP system shows promise for extensive utilization in the meat industry in response to the consumer appreciation for safe, and quality meat products, as well as their waste reduction notions. This paper gives an updated overview of ongoing scientific research, and recent technological advances that offer the perspectives of developing smart meat packaging systems that are capable of monitoring the physical, microbial, and chemical changes of the package contents from producer to the point of sale and even beyond, and remediating potential adverse reactions.

“…RFID is widely used for product identification and for gathering information of products automatically. Its technology is based on wireless communication between a tag attached to an object (RFID tag) and an interrogator (RFID reader) [13]. The RFID tags embed specific sensors (such as temperature, humidity) that enable the automatic capture of related data that are critical to the quality and the safety of food (such as history of temperature, humidity, and time period), thus providing the managing system with a real-time description of the state of the perishable food [14].…”

Food waste stemmed from food contamination and ineffective quality control is a significant challenge to food management. Supply chain traceability has become an essential task of the food industry for guaranteeing food quality and safety and reducing food waste. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged as a lead technology in the development of traceability systems, which enable automatically capturing of food information along the supply chain. However, the significant investment cost has been a major obstacle in the diffusion of traceability systems in the food industry. This study conducts a cost-benefit analysis of a RFID-enabled traceability system for a two-level perishable food supply chain, which consists of an upstream supplier and a downstream retailer. Consumer perceptions of food quality and safety are jointly considered when evaluating the value of a traceability system. The optimal decisions of the supply chain participants are derived in both centralized and decentralized systems, in terms of wholesale price, order quantity, price markdowns, and granularity level of the traceability system. The results show that a dynamic pricing policy supported by the traceability system could significantly reduce food waste and improve the retailer's performance. We further propose a two-part tariff contract to coordinate the supply chain and to distribute benefits and costs of the traceability system between supply chain participants. This study demonstrates that a well-developed traceability system could significantly improve the supply chain performance and become a profitable investment for the food industry.
