Food security is an essential aspect of common health. It is important to trace the source of food and its components so that the potential risk can be detected and the responsibility can be lied when the damage happens. However, considering the complexity of food production and consumption, it is a great challenge to build the traceability system. Jiangsu, one of the most developed providences in China, has developed a food traceability system that covers the major food production and supply companies. In this paper, we will introduce the structure of the existing platform and current status of the food traceability situation in Jiangsu Province. Also the problems and potential improvements are discussed.
