And where do you think you're going Mr. Tomato?! For the next three years, the Department of Agriculture will be embedding produce boxes of state-grown tomatoes with microchips and radio-wave emitting paper thin antennae to keep track of their movement.

The pilot project would track and trace tomatoes and other fresh produce from farm to market using radio frequency identification technology in hopes of improving food safety.

Agriculture Chairman Sandra Lee Kunimoto said Hawaii would be the first state to test RFID for this purpose.

She explained that in the event of a recall, the state wants to be able to trace a product to the farm of origin and identify where it has been distributed in a matter of minutes. Kunimoto said the system hopes to improve overall produce quality and freshness in Hawaii.
