An UK government funded project (FA0159, Defra ), in liaison with FoodIntegrity (www.foodintegrity.eu), is conducting a survey to understand the current needs for /availability of pork data bases for geographical origin determination. A series of questions is presented aiming to obtain knowledge on status and accessibility of pork data bases.
