This section of the website provides technical information on how Meat Messaging works, with general information and support tools.
The Meat Messaging system is based on the GS1 standards for numbering and barcoding of meat products and the GS1 EANCOM electronic message standards. Refer to the GS1 organisation in your country for details on the GS1 standards.
The Meat Messaging system is an online platform platform that enables the creation, transmission, receipt, and management of GS1 EANCOM messages relating to meat products (cartons, carcases, carcase portions, bulk packs, pallets, and containers), including associated attestation statements and compliance declarations. These messages assist regulatory authorities with the authenticity, verification and traceability of meat products. The GS1 barcoding standards and GS1 EANCOM electronic message standards do not replace existing regulatory requirements – they assist and supplement these requirements.
For more details on regulations of export eligibility and requirements for export, contact the relevant government representatives in your country.
