Abstract

The public increasingly demands transparency in the production of foodstuff. Beside well characterized and documented production methods the reliable identification of the origin of animal derived food at any point of the production process becomes more important. Therefore, this parameter is a central point in the implementation of process - oriented quality management systems in animal production. This is especially true for beef production due to the potential relationship between BSE and Creutzfeld -Jacob- Syndrome. The DNA analysis of the animals and foodstuff produced of them provides potentially the highest level of reliability for the tracing of origin.
