Food security and safety are central topics worth to be investigated by academicians and practitioners. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is more than a tool with wireless microchips for identification but a facilitator that increases the traceability of food products and better business model innovations. This paper reviews the literature of issues regarding RFID in the context of food supply chains (e.g. issues on the feasibility of RFID for better food traceability). We make a careful review of 13 papers published in 9 SSCI journals and conferences published from 2004 to 2016. Findings are discussed for offering suggestions that could improve the research streams and practices.

审查食品安全供应链中射频识别应用的研究

粮食安全与安全是值得院士和从业人员研究的中心议题。射频识别（RFID）不仅是带有无线微芯片的识别工具，而且是促进食品可追溯性和更好的商业模式创新的辅助工具。本文回顾了有关食品供应链中的RFID问题的文献（例如关于RFID的可行性，以实现更好的食品可追溯性）。我们仔细审查了2004年至2016年间在9篇SSCI期刊和会议上发表的13篇论文。我们对研究结果进行了讨论，以提出可改善研究流程和实践的建议。
