Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure includes a method and system for applying markings on a food product by applying a radiant energy to the food product in such a manner to form a permanent marking thereon. The markings include text and graphics, and can include an advertisement, a freshness date, a traceability code, or other types of relevant information. A laser is preferably employed as the radiant energy source. The method preferably forms the markings on the food product while the product moves through a predetermined region of a food processing system. The performance or characteristics of the laser may be adjusted in response to selected characteristics of the food product, environmental conditions, and processing conditions, in order to optimize the marking applied thereon.
