Traceability is certainly the buzz in food safety today. We’ve got to know where it came from no matter what “it” is. This is true for all commodities and new products and services are being developed very quickly. Today AgInfoLink USA announced that it has received USDA Process Verification Program (PVP) approval.

A key component of AgInfoLink’s Process Verified Program is the ability to connect data across the meat and livestock supply chain. An immediate application of AgInfoLink’s PVP will be age and source verification for livestock producers and processors. AgInfoLink will deliver this verification through its approved alliance customers like Beef Verification Solutions in Kansas and Kentucky Beef Network, or directly with other approved producers.

It will be interesting to see how these systems develop.
