Mandatory information

Traceability enables you to label products with information about the animal or group of
animals (batch) from which the product was derived.
In some markets certain traceability information is mandatory.
Example:The following lists the information which is mandatory when labelling beef
• lot number (more than one animal) or carcass number.
• slaughter house reference and country.
• cutting/de-boning centre reference and country.
• country of birth.
• country of rearing.
In addition, approved voluntary information may be included on labels and receipts.
Please remember .....
If the product is
• pre-packed (packed when the customer is not present), the traceability information
must be printed on the product label or receipt.
• packed or prepared in the presence of the customer, there must be a clear link
between the product being served and the displayed carcass details.
The best way to ensure this is by individually labelling each pack, or by printing the
full details on the counter or ECR receipt. If this is not possible you can use Tray
labelling, see
Product Traceability
products in EU countries.
