EU to Track Meat with RFID

"Collaboration between a EU funded body and private companies has resulted in an integrated method for tracking meat products from slaughterhouse to supermarket using radio frequency identification(RFID) technology. The method integrates a newly developed transport crate called "info-Box" or iBoS, which is equipped with a transponder and RFID technology. The project team also created an Internet-accessible supply chain management system to manage and control the flow of information from the Info-Box crate." Source: foodnavigator.com
