What is Source Verification?Source Verification is the ability to trace livestock from birth to the
consuming public. This process usually entails numeric identification
at birth and record keeping which details health records, feed records,
and genetic history of individual livestock. The record keeping and
traceability process continues from slaughter through processing and
distribution. These records can be accessed by the processor which
provides another level of safety to the consumer in terms of recall if
necessary. Source-verification is extremely popular in many foreign markets such as Japan.
 The leading practitioner of Source Verification in the United States is Premium Protein Products.
