Nice article explaining the pitfalls of labelling. Mentions about a mix up with covid testing too.

The conclusion of the article doesn't really delve too far into solutions, just more intensive checking. A Bluechiip system would probably save more time (and be more accurate) to be honest.

Anyway, we can see the shift to more recognition about the risks associated with older tracking methods, so its something that is coming up more and more, and like all technology there will eventually be a shift into a adoption phase/ industry standard once cost is not a huge factor.
