New meat law – how to keep track of where your food comes from
As of March 1, 2025, new legislation will require restaurants and catering establishments to be able to inform guests about the country of origin of beef, pork, sheep, goat and poultry meat.
The new legislation aims to provide consumers with more transparency and promote sustainable consumption. However, for restaurant owners, it poses a challenge to ensure that meat information is accurate and easily accessible to both staff and guests. Managing this change effectively requires smart integrations. Luckily, Ancon has integrations with most leading platforms that make it easier to keep track of your products, from purchase to sale. By integrating with Stockifi, Apicbase, Bazaro or Qvanti, it becomes easier to track the origin of your goods.
Whichever platform you choose, it will help you track the origin of goods, optimize purchasing and ensure the right information is available. Smart digital tools and integrations make it easier to manage legal requirements, reduce waste and streamline your daily operations.
But it’s not enough to know the origin – the information must also reach the customer in an easy way. Adding the country of origin of the meat to the product descriptions makes it easier for staff to quickly find the information in the POS system. In addition, guests can access the information themselves via Ancon Order or Ancon Express. With the right tools and system support, you can ensure a smooth transition to the new requirements while giving your guests the transparency they demand.
