Abstract: A food tracing and tracking system, method, and computer-program product are provided. The present invention allows small, medium and large-size companies that operate within these supply-chains, to exchange information bi-directionally throughout the entire supply-chain while maintaining data integrity and appropriate levels of security at all times and allowing this in real-time. The present invention enables a continuous linkage across the supply-chain-entities and changing of supply-chain entities in near real-time. The present invention ensures data integrity and data security, performs language translation, maintains a continues history over time without the need for data conversion, and provides each entity within the supply chain the option of publishing their identity and data to the other supply chain entities. New fields can be added as needed for processes and materials.
