## FAQ
- Q: Does the NFC label meet FDA FSMA Section 204 traceability requirements?
  A: Yes. The NFC label system is designed to capture and store all Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) and Key Data Elements (KDEs) required by the FSMA food traceability rule. Each label's unique chip ID serves as the Traceability Lot Code (TLC) or carries an upstream-issued TLC, and the linked cloud record stores harvest, processing, shipping and receiving events with timestamps, locations and responsible parties — formatted for 24-hour FDA-query response.
- Q: Can consumers read the label without downloading an app?
  A: Yes. Tapping the NFC label with any NFC-enabled smartphone (iPhone XS+ / iOS 13+, most Android devices) opens a mobile-optimised web page directly in the browser. No app download required. The same data is also accessible via the printed QR code on the label for phones without NFC.
- Q: How does the label prevent food fraud and counterfeiting?
  A: Every NFC chip has a factory-burned unique identifier (UID) that cannot be cloned. The NTAG 424 DNA option adds cryptographic AES-128 SUN authentication: each tap generates a one-time digital signature verified by the cloud backend. If someone copies the QR code or attempts to clone the label, the authentication check fails and the consumer sees a fraud alert.
- Q: How does the label integrate with EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) 2023/1115 and the EU Farm-to-Fork strategy for commodities like coffee, cocoa, palm oil and beef?
  A: EU Regulation 2023/1115 (EUDR, entered into force June 2023) requires operators placing cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood (and derived products) on the EU market to provide geolocation coordinates of the plot of land where commodities were produced, evidence of deforestation-free sourcing post-Dec 31 2020, and compliance with country-of-production law. The compliance date has been extended to 30 Dec 2025 for large operators and 30 Jun 2026 for SMEs (per Regulation 2024/3234). Our NFC food traceability labels can carry the EUDR Due Diligence Statement (DDS) reference, plot-level GPS polygons, supplier GIS certifications and the GS1 Digital Link URI resolving to the full EUDR record in the EU TRACES NT information system. Regulatory compliance remains the customer's responsibility — we supply the identity anchor and data schema mapping.
- Q: How does the cold-chain integration work — can the NFC label log temperature directly, or do you need a separate data logger?
  A: Our standard NTAG213 / NTAG 424 DNA NFC food traceability labels are identification labels without integrated temperature sensors — they carry the chip UID and supply-chain reference, not live temperature data. For cold-chain logging, two architectures exist: (1) the NFC identification label pairs with a separate reusable or disposable temperature data logger (ELPRO LIBERO, Sensitech TempTale, Berlinger USB, DeltaTrak, Emerson GO Real-Time) whose logged data is associated with the shipment via the NFC label's UID — we support this workflow via our cloud backend's shipment-level aggregation; (2) for applications requiring per-package integrated logging, we offer a separate NFC + temperature-sensor SKU line (sensor-enabled chips like SL13A, SL900A, AMS AS3955) — ask for the appropriate part. For most FSMA 204 and EUDR-scope applications, cold-chain is a shipment-level concern (reefer container, pallet, carton) where separate loggers + NFC-label aggregation deliver the right cost / coverage balance.
