Application prospects of organic RFID tags for animal food tracing

The high cost of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags has restricted the wider application of RFID technology. Organic radio frequency identification tags have gained considerable attention because of their low cost processing. The characteristic of organic RFID tags was analyzed in this paper. The differences of the traditional barcode, RFID and organic RFID tags were compared. Characteristics of main steps of the traceability processing of animal food, needs of traceability technology and application of the three tags were analyzed. The results showed organic RFID will be help for reducing cost and promote the animal food traceability technology.
