Abstract: In recent years,  Chinese government has attached great importance to the construction of  food safety traceability system, and has promulgated laws and regulations to guide the government, enterprise construction and application of food safety traceability system. However, the promotion and application has encountered some difficulties, and it is urgent to find out the solution. This paper analyzed the application status of Chinas food safety traceability system, and clarified the cost of traceability, the application value of the system and the impact of information security on the application traceability system. The results showed that: the high cost of traceability system, low application value and low system information security were important factors for enterprises to consider application traceability system.  The solutions to resolve the problem of popularization and application of traceability systems were  expanding the scope of food safety traceability system promotion and application, developing multi-faceted application of traceability data to improve its value, controlling the cost of food safety traceability system, and improving the security measures for information security. These measures could improve the utilization rate of the traceability system, reduce the cost of the government and enterprises to develop food safety traceability systems, stimulate the enthusiasm of the enterprise application traceability system, and create a good food safety environment.

摘要： 近年来，我国政府重视食品安全追溯系统的建设，已颁布法律条例指导政府、企业建设及应用追溯系统，但是，食品安全追溯系统推广应用也遇到一些难题，亟需探明解决方法。分析了我国食品安全追溯系统的应用现状，阐明了追溯的成本、系统的应用价值及信息安全对应用追溯系统的影响。结果表明：追溯系统成本高、应用价值少和系统信息安全保障低是企业考虑应用追溯系统的重要因素。拓展食品安全追溯系统推广应用的范围，开发追溯数据多方面的应用以提高其价值，控制食品安全追溯系统成本，完善信息安全的保障措施，是解决追溯系统推广应用难的有效办法。这些措施可以提高追溯系统的利用率，降低政府、企业开发部署食品安全追溯系统的成本，激发企业应用追溯系统的积极性，营造良好的食品安全大环境。
