Passeport

Herbert Simon, bounded rationality: four seconds facing thirty options. The label is a rational shortcut — but it still has to be decompressible.

Les sceaux des collectionneurs sur les peintures chinoises : une provenance qui s’accumule sur l’objet — jusqu’au jour où on le remonte, et où l’histoire est séparée de la chose qu’elle racontait.

Tous les vingt ans, Ise est rebâti à neuf sur le terrain d’à côté, et le vieux bois part servir ailleurs. Ce qu’un sanctuaire sans matière stable enseigne à un registre — et pourquoi une rupture inscrite vaut mieux qu’une continuité supposée.

Sign, reason, singular: Spinoza’s three kinds of knowledge applied to a tomato — from the label to the verifiable product passport.

Descartes separated thought and extension, then glued them back together with the pineal gland. Declarative traceability does the same thing with the batch number.

Import = bad, local = good? With Spinoza: the good is not a property but a relation. Traceability is a matter of proof, not morality.

Definition, regulatory obligations (EU, France), upstream and downstream traceability, digital tools, wine e-label, EUDR, AGEC: everything a producer or distributor needs to know in 2026.

Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 on electronic wine labelling: ingredients, nutritional values, QR code, allergens. What the regulation requires, what it allows, and the pitfalls to avoid.

GTIN, GS1 Digital Link, minimum printable size, product page content, common mistakes: how to apply a traceability QR code that really works, from the first trial to the last carton.

The ESPR regulation introduces the digital product passport category by category, starting with iron and steel. What it will have to contain, why it does not apply to foodstuffs, and what actually applies to a food producer.
