Traceability....(I guess the diet is kicking in....)

I was browsing the GS1/EPC Global RFID In Action website this morning - one of the applications they profile is using RFID to provide traceability and quality control for eggs.

How long before when you get to your restaurant you are given a hand-held to scan your meal as it arrives so that you can see just where all that food has come from???

On a more serious note, as more folk get interested in food-miles (no, it's not a reward scheme for over-eating) and the quality of produce, traceabillity in food is going to get to be more of an issue.
