Division 4.4 Proof of origin
United Kingdom
All the links in the production chain are listed (hatcheries, feed manufacturers, breeders, slaughterhouses).
Documentary records are kept for each batch of poultry: declaration by the breeder of birds added to his stock, delivery slips for day-old chicks, declaration of departure for the slaughterhouse and slips for collection of carcasses from the slaughterhouse, declaration of the labels used for the poultry after slaughter and declaration of downgraded poultry. All labels are numbered. Checks on the consistency of this information ensure the product's traceability.
