Food Chain information

Food chain Information (FCI) introduces the official veterinarian whose task is to check and analyse the relevant information from the records ofthe provenance ofanimals intended for slaughter and to take into account the docu-mented results of this check and analysis when carrying out ante and post mortem inspection. When carrying out inspection tasks, the official veterinahan should take into account the official certificates accompanying animals, and any deciarations made by veterinarians carrying out controls at the level of primary production, including official veterinarians and approved veterinarians. The same applies to cases when food business operators in the food chain take additional measures to guarantee food safety by implementing integrated systems, private control sys-tems, independent third party certification or by other means, and when these measures are documented.
