Traceability

To ensure complete confidence in food safety, we employ strict measures that allow us to trace our veal products through each stage of production.

Should any product present a potential safety risk to consumers, we can identify exactly where it came from and recall it from the market. This full traceability responds to consumers’ right to know how their food is produced and provides them with the peace of mind that they can fully trust the product they’re buying is legitimate and fairly traded for importing to the U.S.

Identification and Registration

We implement the European identification and registration system, a unique system that follows each animal’s movements throughout the food chain to eradicate diseases.

• Every animal must have a tag on each ear identifying them by place of birth, feeding and harvesting.

• A passport must accompany each animal through each stage of the production process.

• Every farmer keeps an up-to-date record detailing their cattle’s movements for up to three years — this record must remain available for presentation to authorities at any time.

• Each European country has its own comprehensive national production database that provides a common statistical framework for the European bovine production industry.
