To promote consumer confidence in the safety of beef and to ensure the proper implementation of eradication measures against bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), the Cattle Traceability Law was approved by the Diet in June 2003 and a cattle traceability system has been in operation in Japan since December 2003. The system enables tracing the cohort and offspring animals of a BSE case within 24 h of its detection. The traceability database system also provides distributors, restaurants and consumers with information on the cattle from which the beef that they sell, serve and consume, originate.
为提高消费者对牛肉安全性的信心，并确保针对牛海绵状脑病（BSE）的根除措施得到妥善实施，《牲畜可追溯性法》于2003年6月获国会批准，自2003年12月起日本开始运行牲畜可追溯系统。该系统能够在检测到疯牛病病例后的24小时内追踪其同群动物和后代。可追溯性数据库系统还为经销商、餐馆和消费者提供他们所销售、供应和消费的牛肉的来源牲畜信息。
