Abstract: An RFID tag is provided that transmits and receives a communication signal. The RFID tag includes a base material, an antenna pattern provided on the base material, and an expansion member. The expansion member is disposed adjacent to the antenna pattern and has a coefficient of linear expansion that is higher than coefficients of linear expansion of the antenna pattern. When the RFID tag is subjected to an electromagnetic wave heating microwave, and thus the temperature of each portion rises, the antenna pattern breaks at a position of the expansion member. With this configuration, ignition and combustion are able to be prevented even in a situation in which the RFID tag is subjected to high-frequency power for heating a food item while being attached to the food item.
