The Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium said new technology has the ability to deliver unseen levels of traceability, inventory tracking, and product authentication with food-safe digital tags. .“Parmigiano Reggiano is one of the world’s oldest and most famous cheeses, and it is a product that symbolizes Italian produce,” said Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium President Nicola Bertinelli in a press release..“By being the first to incorporate these secure digital labels onto our cheese wheels, we can continue to ensure consumer safety, bringing the traceability and the authentication of our products to meet industry 4.0 technological targets.” .The release said food traceability is an increasing concern for Canadians. A poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute found 76% of Canadians are yearning to know where their food comes from and agree being able to trace it to its source makes them feel safer. .To support Canadians’ desire for food safety and traceability, the release said Parmigiano Reggiano teamed up with Kaasmerk Matec and p-Chip Corporation to launch a line of food-safe digital labels for its cheese wheels to create a new industry-standard food identification method..The tags are smaller than a grain of salt and durable, delivering next-generation visibility and allowing people to track their products from start to finish. .The World Economic Forum (WEF) advocated for the widespread use of chip implants in plain sight in August. .READ MORE: NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY: WEF voices support for microchip implants.“As scary as chip implants may sound, they form part of a natural evolution that wearables once underwent,” said the WEF. .“Hearing aids or glasses no longer carry a stigma.”
