ABSTRACT:
A method for tracking food products and/or food supplements, preferably organic products and meat products, is provided to enable verification of product origination and to trace back the source of pathogens. In one embodiment, individual animals are tagged with a unique code and such code is maintained throughout the animal's growth, slaughter and processing. Additional information may be added to computer databases with respect to the animal's genetic makeup, weight, feeding regimen, microbiological profile, fat-to-lean meat ratio, etc., and such information can be correlated with the animal's unique identification number. In the fabrication of an animal, a predetermined number of tags is generated for display on each portion of an animal carcass severed during the fabrication process. The present invention permits ultimate consumer's of food products, and particularly meat products, to identify the source and origin of a food product in order to trace back sources of contamination and/or to verify the organic or natural status of a food product.
