Traceability and Data warehousing for better Information Management in pork chains

Consumers have become increasingly concerned about food safety. To maintain and improve consumer trust in the quality and safety of products, legislative actors have induced new framework conditions on food production: The newly established EU General food law (EU 178/2002) demands traceability, transparency and a "stable to table"-approach throughout agricultural production while gonernmental food safety inspection is currently under reorganisation twords a " control of control".

Of special importance in the meat sector is the new EC food hygiene regulation on risk based meat inspection, coming into force from 1. January 2006 (EU 854/2004). The Regulation often referred to as Hygiene 3, sets down detailed rules for official controls on products of animal origin. Product liability law has been extended to the primary sector. National programmes for safeguarding baseline quality have been implemented (IKB (NL), QS (D)).
