Traceability of food products is becoming a larger and larger issue for producers, retailers and consumers. Maxxam has a clear vision to use traceability not only to verify the safety of meat, but also as a means to integrate value-added measures that will allow meat products to be differentiated. Specifically, Maxxam anticipates using additional testing for hormone and veterinary drugs, as well as food-borne pathogen testing, as a means of appealing to health conscious consumers. The use of DNA as a tool for traceability allows meat to be traced from farm to fork.
