Where others close their doors, KURTH Fleischimporte invites people to come and look over their shoulders: on the topic of "enjoying meat safely" we know no secrets.

Safety with a net and double bottom
Our programme for reliability, safety and quality is known as "KURTH Transparent". Its core element is the continuous traceability of origin, characteristics and development of each piece of meat – from birth of the animal to the shop counter!

What does this mean in definite terms? In accordance with article 18 of the so-called EU basic order 178/2002, which introduced traceability of foodstuffs as a general precept in food law, each cut is provided with a numerical code before it leaves the meat packing plant. Combined with the most modern information and scanning technology, the transparency of information is created in this manner on NVE basis.

KURTH Transparent goes further still. In addition to the usual bar coding, we provide each piece with its own, chronological number – its "house number". This also means the possibility, in addition to double safety, of retrieving saved information at subsequent points in time.

KURTH Transparent means continuous traceability of goods – at any time, for every aspect:

• Where does which piece of meat come from? Where was the animal raised? By whom?
• What was the feed like? What breed does the animal belong to?
• What veterinary examinations were performed?

Information concerning slaughtering and meat packing plants in addition to the cold chain can also be retrieved at any time.
