The National Food Tracking Platform of the Ministry of Agriculture and GS1 Magyarország has been running very successfully for 4 years. GS1 Magyarország’s business development director Krisztina Vatai told: With this platform the aim is to help enterprises in many ways to identify their obligations, to specify what tools they need to use to comply with the rules and to learn how to work with them in practice. Various working groups have been set up for different food categories to come up with specific tracking guides.

Ms Vatai added that if companies build their tracking processes on GS1 standards – as opposed to developing their own traceability solutions – the introduction of the system is simpler and cheaper. What is more, communication between business partners also becomes faster and more harmonic. //
