The most internationally recognized definition of traceability defines it as the "ability to trace the history, application, or location of an entity by recorded identifications". The intent of tracing goods is the capability to identify the origin of a particular unit and/or batch of product located within the supply chain by reference to records held upstream.

In addition to meeting the requirements of the CFIA and local public health departments, Emperor recognizes the importance of having food safety certification that exceeds the basic legal requirements. This position is taken for both Emperor's facilities and for its foreign suppliers.
