There are numerous examples in the literature concerning the role of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for traceability, authentication, and labeling of agro-food products. There are also excellent review papers. Therefore, this chapter does not focus on an exhaustive literature review of the topic, but rather presents some examples, taken from the research experience of the authors, on the use of NIRS in mandatory and voluntary food and feed traceability and labeling programs.
