Description
SUMMARY Bovine meat traceability is of great importance as a tool for food safety since it ensures product identity and the possibility to follow it up from its origin until commercialization. Meat traceability starts with animal identification; however, traditional markers, although necessary, are removed at slaughter. On the other hand, methods that use molecular markers, based on DNA fingerprinting, are permanent and unique. Therefore, it is important that a meat traceability system combines both methods so that the product could be traced along the production chain to ensure consumer safety in case of a food crisis. In this review, a general overview of bovine meat traceability concepts and technological aspects are presented. Also, methods used for meat traceability, including the selection and evaluation of molecular markers are discussed. Finally, the status of bovine meat traceability in different countries, with special emphasis on Mexico is addressed.
