those tested 18 out of 20 passed,
Grace said.
The tag will be pul in the calfs
ear before it is sold and remains for
its lifetime so it can be traced back
to its herd of origin if necessary.
Though a cattle beast could have
numerous owners, "the inspector
would know the last owner and the
tag would tell the first owner so
that narrows the search down," said
Gracey.
Trials for transfer of the tags
from the carcass to the meal are lhe
next step. "It would seem simple,
but in fact it is not," said Gracey.
The program will be mandatory.
"No food producer anymore has lhe
option of producing food anony
mously," said Gracey.
