Risks assesment and their probability of occurence are discussed. Benefits, difficulties, applications, tools and challenges are presented as well as specific terminology and technologies adaptable to generic food chain logistics. Conditions that influence a succesful implementation system per se, regulations, code of practices, standards... are also shown. To conclude, various diagrams: adapted Ishikawa's, and the Multiple Surfaces Basic Traceability Components (MSBT) will be presented in detail.
