Traceability and Instigation of DNA Marker Technology as a Tested Tool for Meat Traceability
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Agriculture Business - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Globalization of market, consumer awareness and media attention on food safety issues such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and dioxin surge have eventually drawn attention of industry on meat traceability systems. Traceability is a contemporary concept able to ensure the quality and integrity by following a complex food supply chain route from raw material to the selling stage. Food regulations frame the principal of food safety and quality assurance, which radically prescribe traceability system in meat food business. Complexity of food production chains materialized meat animal rearers, processors, distributor and retailers for using advanced tools to ensure traceability. System of DNA analysis of meat and meat products is able to determine, unambiguously and with utter certainty, the origin of meat and a meat product. In other words, it can answer the question whether two biological samples (blood, meat, bone) originate from the same individual, from this individual's parents or descendants, or again from individuals. The DNA tracing technology on a meat product assures the products purchased are subjected to one of the most valid and accurate full traceability systems available, based on the current technologies in forensic science.
