TRACEABILITY.

METRO GROUP works towards a “Global Standard Traceability

solution (GSTS)” as a

new robust and scalable general traceability approach

applicable to food and non-food products on

an internationally harmonized level,

covering sustainability and safety aspects,

but also advanced marketing, efficient recall handling

and anti-counterfeiting.

This system should be strictly based on open global standards to

ensure global interoperability, avoidance of cost caused by

spreading island-solutions and best use of modern technology.
