'''Source Verification''' is the ability to trace [[livestock]] from birth to the consuming public. This process usually entails numeric identification at birth and record keeping which details health records, feed records, and genetic history of individual livestock.

The record keeping and traceability process continues from slaughter through processing and distribution. These records can be accessed by the processor which provides another level of safety to the consumer in terms of recall if necessary.
