During the whole 21st century the numerous food scandals in Europe have been so extensive that has led EU to be a strong driver of traceability in the foo d value chain/food supply chain. EU regulations describe how food safety has to be maintained. Food scandals also damage companies economically in terms of consequential loss and damages to brands. To avoid and minimize the risk of various future food scandals, greater control of traceability by food companies is required.
Food is wasted up to around   50 % of total of the food. The households waste about 30 % of their food but there is waste in the rest of the food supply.
