Growing interest in food traceability has led to the development of a wide range of chemical, biomolecular, isotopic, chromatographic, and spectroscopic methods with varied performance and success rates. This review will give an update on the application of Traceability 4.0 in the fruits and vegetables sector, focusing on relevant Industry 4.0 enablers, especially Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and Big Data. The results show that the Traceability 4.0 has significant po-tential to improve quality and safety of many fruits and vegetables, enhance transparency, reduce the costs of food recalls, and decrease waste and loss. However, due to their high implementation costs and lack of adapt-ability to industrial environments, most of these advanced technologies have not yet gone beyond the laboratory scale. Therefore, further research is anticipated to overcome current limitations for large-scale applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBig dataFood safetyAuthenticationClassificationTechnologyOpportunitiesChallengesGenerationManagementResourcesArtificial intelligenceBlockchainFood fraudAuthenticityIndustry 40Big dataInternet of thingsFood qualitySafetyScience & technologyPhysical sciencesLife sciences & biomedicineChemistry, appliedFood science & technologyChemistryNutrition & dieteticsArticle00092322070000140910.1016/j.foodchem.2022.1353031873-7072
