The global traceability code that has quietly changed the way we consume is like a digital ID card, making the entire process of each product from raw materials to the time it is put on the shelf transparent and traceable. This is not only about identifying authenticity, but also redefining quality of life. With the popularization of technology, how can we use this computing tool to become smarter consumers? Let us start to discuss it from the perspective of practical application.
How to identify the authenticity of goods with global traceability codes
Scan the traceability code on the product packaging, and the production batch, logistics track, and quality inspection report will instantly be displayed on the phone screen. If there is a hot sales season for ski clothing recently, some consumers will use the traceability code to find that the waterproof material marked by a certain brand does not match the actual test data, so that they can avoid purchasing falsely advertised products in time. This system uses blockchain technology to ensure that the data cannot be tampered with. The verification port accessed by the customs and quality inspection departments can cross-check customs declarations and certificates of origin.
When actually verifying this process, you need to pay attention to the three-level anti-counterfeiting signs, which are barcodes that change color dynamically, invisible parts that only fluoresce under ultraviolet light, and randomly distributed fibers. Just as the young man who successfully defended his rights because of icing on his ski clothes said, nowadays when buying higher-priced equipment, you must check the traceability code. This has become an instinctive reaction in everyone's heart. These various technical means together build a protective network that can distinguish whether a product is real or fake, so that counterfeit products have no place to hide and not be discovered.
How traceability codes ensure food freshness
The fresh food traceability code can accurately record the picking time, cold chain temperature, and shelf life. When you buy imported fruits in the supermarket, scan the QR code to see the complete temperature control record from the orchard to the shelf. Through surveillance, some farmers discovered wild Siberian tigers pacing back and forth outside the warehouse. This image data was also integrated into the traceability code system of local specialty products, thus becoming the basis for ecological planting.
In the cold chain transportation link, temperature data will be uploaded every half hour. Once a certain batch of poultry products is detected with influenza virus, the system can lock all the products in the same warehouse within two hours and initiate a recall. Such a full-process monitoring mechanism not only protects the rights and interests of consumers, but also prompts production companies to strengthen quality management, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
How can ordinary consumers use traceability codes effectively?
It is crucial to develop the habit of scanning when doing your daily shopping. Download an officially certified QR code scanning application and point it at the traceability code of the product, so that you can obtain key and important information. Be sure to distinguish between formal traceability codes and QR codes created by merchants themselves for marketing and fraud. The former mentioned above usually contains more than 13 digits of digital code, and also has a coating required for anti-counterfeiting. If a certain Internet-famous chicken feet brand discloses its traditional secret manufacturing process with the help of traceability codes, consumers can intuitively compare the taste differences between different batches.
Establishing such a personal traceability file can track the quality of goods for a long time, store the traceability codes of frequently purchased goods in a special photo album, and regularly compare the quality data of different origins. When it is found that the influenza positive rate has increased in a certain area, it has become a routine behavior for many families to use traceability codes to trace the origin of related foods. This continuous record can help consumers build a more scientific purchasing decision-making system.
