This meat transparency system follows meat through the supply chain and stores its history. Apps help supply chain partners to upload the data they want or have to share and apps help them, authorities and consumers to get the stored history in a format that fits the intended user. As the system is based on the international EPCIS standard, roll-out of the meat transparency system to other supply chains (other types of meat, other types of food and other countries) is easy and straight forward.enEnabling Transparency in Meat Supply Chains: tracking & tracing for supply chain partners, consumers and authoritiesText/Conference Paper1617-5468
