Process for creating a simplified label for food products starting from a complete paper label; said process comprising the following steps: - storing information relating to a food product in a database; - generating a code associated with said information by means of a code generator, so as to obtain a generated code; - printing a label comprising the generated code, in order to obtain a simplified label; - applying the simplified label on a food product; - reading the generated code printed on the simplified label using a code reader and retrieving the information associated with the generated code in the database; - displaying the information stored in the database; in which said process comprises, before the step of storing information relating to a food product in a database, a step of retrieving from a supplier at least one complete paper label comprising written traceability information relating to a food product; characterised in that said information comprises a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and said step of storing information relating to a food product in a database comprises a step of creating a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and storing said digital image in a database before the step of generating a code; said step of generating a code associated with said information by means of a code generator comprises a step of generating a code associated with the digital image of said at least one complete paper label, stored in the database; said step of applying the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of applying only the simplified label on a food product; said step of applying only the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of replacing said at least one complete paper label with the simplified label. - storing information relating to a food product in a database; - generating a code associated with said information by means of a code generator, so as to obtain a generated code; - printing a label comprising the generated code, in order to obtain a simplified label; - applying the simplified label on a food product; - reading the generated code printed on the simplified label using a code reader and retrieving the information associated with the generated code in the database; - displaying the information stored in the database; in which said process comprises, before the step of storing information relating to a food product in a database, a step of retrieving from a supplier at least one complete paper label comprising written traceability information relating to a food product; characterised in that said information comprises a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and said step of storing information relating to a food product in a database comprises a step of creating a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and storing said digital image in a database before the step of generating a code; said step of generating a code associated with said information by means of a code generator comprises a step of generating a code associated with the digital image of said at least one complete paper label, stored in the database; said step of applying the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of applying only the simplified label on a food product; said step of applying only the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of replacing said at least one complete paper label with the simplified label. in which said process comprises, before the step of storing information relating to a food product in a database, a step of retrieving from a supplier at least one complete paper label comprising written traceability information relating to a food product; characterised in that said information comprises a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and said step of storing information relating to a food product in a database comprises a step of creating a digital image of said at least one complete paper label and storing said digital image in a database before the step of generating a code; said step of generating a code associated with said information by means of a code generator comprises a step of generating a code associated with the digital image of said at least one complete paper label, stored in the database; said step of applying the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of applying only the simplified label on a food product; said step of applying only the simplified label to a food product comprises a step of replacing said at least one complete paper label with the simplified label.
