To provide a product history management apparatus capable of managing a history of a product from its production to delivery to consumers and a label issuing apparatus. Label IDs are issued for all steps from raw material production to retail product production (retailer and food-service distributor) and a label ID issued this time and a label ID issued in the last step are associated to keep a history of the label IDs, making it possible to grasp a production or distribution history from raw material production to final product production. A label management server issues a label ID and label issuing apparatuses provided for each step print labels. The label management server manages the history of the label IDs and the label issuing apparatuses manage detailed information related to products in each step. In the label and the label issuing apparatuses, an authenticity judgement element (authenticity identification substance) and a detection function are provided to prevent any counterfeit or tampering, which contributes to an improvement in reliability for an information system and allows users to feel secure about the system. <IMAGE> |
