Important actors

Title


SCVL and National Reference Laboratory of GASI are state laboratories involved in food, animal feed and veterinary drug residues testing. It

seems that in some of the fields (e.g. testing for veterinary drug residues, chemical contaminants)

are carried out by both laboratories. The analytical work of the SCVL until recently was more

or less exclusively for the meat industry (export).

accredited labs according ISO 17025

Practical aspects

Title


Traceability* -

II. The holistic view


*Food chain – meat and meat products

Traceability

Title


The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) defines Traceability as

“the ability to follow the movement of a food through specified stage(s) of

production, processing and distribution”.


Traceability

Title


Livestock identification and meat traceability systems were introduced in

countries as a reaction to the BSE problem.


Traceability

Title


A good traceability system provides accurate information on

the origin, sex, age, breed, movements and records veterinarian treatments

an animal received. (FAO)


Traceability

Title


Under EU law, “traceability” means the ability to track any food,

feed, food- producing animal or substance

that will be used for consumption,through all stages of production,

processing and distribution.

(Article 3 , Point 15 - Article 18 of General Food Law))


Food safety - a step forward

Traceability

Title


The EU‘s General Food Law makes traceability compulsory to all food and feed businesses.

All food and feed business operators must be able to identify where their products have come from and where they are going

( one step back – one step forward ).

(- rapid information to the competent authorities;- implementing special system(s))


Traceability

Title


Information to be kept at least:

> an accurate description of the food;

> Volume or quantity of the food;

> Name, address of FBO* from which the food has been dispatched;(FBO* or name and address of consignor ⌠owner⌡)

> Name, address of the FBO* to whom the food is dispatched;(FBO* or name and address of consignee ⌠owner⌡)


Traceability

Title


> a reference identifying the lot, batch or consignment, as appropriate

and > the date of dispatch.

The information referred to above shall be updated on a daily basis and kept at least available until it

can be reasonably assumed that the food has been consumed.


Traceability

Title


Traceability systems are important tools to prevent the spread of animal diseases and to enhance biosecurity in general.


Traceability

Title


Animal identification and livestock/meat traceability are not

themselves food safety, animal disease prevention or quality assurance

programmes, but they facilitate public health, veterinary public health and

animal health interventions.



Traceability

Title


All animals (cattle, sheep, goats, porks) on the farm have to be identilfied

by an ear tag inserted in each ear within 20 days of birth and, at any rate, before they

leave the holding of birth.



Traceability

Title



Traceability

Title


Traceability

Title


Within the abattoir, meat traceability requires

the clear identification of the live animals

through to meat products.



Traceability

Title



Traceability

Title


Possible meat identification options include

• Paper/plastic Tags• Ink stamping

• Bar code labels • Microchip (RFID)

Bar Code label (From FAO project in Somalia)


Traceability

Title


Reliable traceability schemes are often a precondition for meat producing countries

to enter export markets. Hence traceability is not only a health issue but has also become a marketing

tool. The goal is to achieve transparency in the

meat chain “from farm to table”. - - -


Traceability

Title


In general traceability measures can be used to

• improve management of risks related to food safety and animal health issues;

• guarantee products’ authenticity and give reliable information to customers;

• improve products’ quality and processes.
