Popis: This paper presents a system of Meat Traceability Critical Control Point analysis (MTCCP) in the specific case of the Polish pork chain. The introduction and application of such a system will be critical for several reasons, among which are increasing consumer concerns, pressure on industry profits and the emerging accession of Poland to the European Union. At present, very few factors inside the Polish pig and meat industry encourage a fast and effective implementation of traceability and information exchange. Therefore, a manageable system mainly based on the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis in Critical Control Points (HACCP) is set forth. Critical control points from farm supplies to slaughterhouse are identified. A critical review of the on-going legislative process forms the basis for formulating managerial and policy implications.
