The most widely recognized and accepted meaning of traceability is the tracking and tracing of food products within a supply chain using a record-keeping process. Traceability is an essential means of obtaining information on the safety and quality of foodstuffs and building consumer confidence. This research, carried out during 2023, aimed to evaluate the traceability elements used in products bought in supermarkets in the wilaya of Tlemcen, Algeria. In the first step, consumer attitudes towards traceability were analyzed. In the second step, an examination of food products and commercial transactions was performed. The survey operations were mainly aimed at remedying the shortcomings and imbalances in terms of traceability observed on the market. In Algeria, Executive Decree 12-203 on product safety rules imposes that when goods are released for consumption, they must comply with regulatory requirements concerning safety, health and consumer protection, with regard to the appropriate measures implemented to ensure their traceability mechanisms. As required by "Food Law," Regulation 178/2002 stipulates that all operators in the agricultural and agri-food sectors set up a traceability system. Multiple nations are attempting to control both imported and locally produced products through the introduction of specific legislations. The investigations focused mainly on compliance with the transparency obligation for commercial practices, in particular the invoicing requirement, as well as the failure to provide compulsory consumer information on the origin and designation of the manufacturer or organization responsible for placing the product on the market. In critical situations, the organization of withdrawals or recalls to reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses is paramount. Judicial and administrative measures were taken against offenders at various product supply stages. The dynamic ever-changing flow of commodities and trade transactions in the marketplace implies the need for an appropriate traceability system to identify the owner of both current and all prior commodities.
