Food source information transferring system and method for a meat-packing facility

A food source information transferring system for a meat-packing facility, the food source information transferring system comprising:

• a data scan zone defined by an RFID signal projection from an RF antenna operatively connected to an RFID reader;
• a hook that holds multi-carcass grouped meat parts derived from a multiple number of animal carcasses, wherein the multi-carcass grouped meat parts hung on the hook embed a multiplicity of livestock RFID tag information corresponding to the multiple number of animal carcasses;
• a hook RFID tag incorporated or embedded in the hook that holds the multi-carcass grouped meat parts derived from the multiple number of animal carcasses, when the hook is hung on a hook machine, wherein the hook machine is designed to transport the multi-carcass grouped meat parts on the hook from one location to another location;
• the RFID reader reading from the hook RFID tag and the multi-carcass grouped meat parts embedding the multiplicity of livestock RFID tag information corresponding to the multiple number of animal carcasses, when the hook RFID tag is inside the data scan zone, wherein the RFID reader is further configured to place a start flag or an end flag in a first data set associated with the hook RFID tag, and in a second data set associated with a package label;
• a meat-packing facility' database system configured to assign a unique package label identification for a meat package containing chopped pieces of meat from the multi-carcass grouped meat parts;
• a labeling machine configured to generate the package label with the unique package label identification, which is printed or attached to the meat package;
• a food source information database operating on a CPU and a memory unit of a computer system device which is operatively connected to the RFID reader, the meat-packing facility's database system, and/or the labeling machine, wherein the food source information database pairs the multiplicity of livestock RFID tag information in the multi-carcass grouped meat parts per hook with the hook RFID tag and the second data set associated with the package label, so that a multi-carcass source-to-single hook data correlation is traceably established for the package label;
• and
• a meat-packing facility operation controller unit operatively connected to the RFID reader and the food source information database, wherein the meat-packing facility operation controller unit at least partially controls components of the RFID reader and the food source information database.
