Trace the fish by mobile phone Norwegians are particular about the fish they eat. Soon they may be able to check when it was caught, and where, using their mobile phone.
The cooperative food chain Coop is currently testing out a system by which the customers may use their mobile phone to trace the fish from the sea to to the store, reading a bar code on the outside packing.
By scanning the bar code, a signal is sent to a data base, which in turn sends back the information on where the fish was produced, when it was packaged and the expiry date. Coop will after Christmas begin a test run of the new system in its stores in the Municipality of Baerum, west of Oslo. The software has been developed by the Norwegian firm TraceTracker, and the project is run by the Norwegian Seafood Assosiation (NSL). (NRK/Press release) Rolleiv Solholm
