Large industrial machines vacuum-pack the veal. A special label called the ‘tracer label’ indicates how the customer can learn more about the meat’s origin. Each label shows the unique ear number of that particular calf. By logging onto the internet, customers can find out where the calf was raised, what feed it received, which certificates it was awarded by the SKV, where it was slaughtered, etc.

The customer order indicates how the vacuum-packed cuts of veal are to be packaged, based on the customer’s requirements. Veal can be packaged in a crate, a plain box, a company-branded box or in the customer’s own packaging.
