Abstract
Brazil is the 3rd largest egg producer in the Americas and for production to be achieved, it must be
organized to produce with quality and productivity. For all quality requirements to be met, guidance
documents such as EMBRAPA and the Brazilian Poultry Union cover all stages of the production process,
from the origin of the inputs to the later stages of production. In addition to these instructions, other
legislation dealing with traceability is used to regulate production processes in food chains. In this context,
the objective of this work is to confront the main national and international standards related to
traceability to verify common requirements and that can compose a system of data collection. The work
was divided into three stages and presented as a result the common requirements: sanitary management
in the breeding and rearing phases, lineage, input control, poultry vaccination, poultry feeding, sanitary
monitoring, egg collection information, eggs, and biosafety, product description, batch identification, date
of shipment and data of the sending company and data of the company of destination, in addition to the
information retrieval system.
Keywords: Poultry keeping. Legislation. Food safety. Quality requirements.
1. INTRODUCTION
Brazil is the 3rd largest egg producer in America [1]. Its production chain is composed of input
producers, poultry and egg producers, the processing industry, wholesale markets, retailers, and the egg
industry and final consumer [2], [3].
Scandals due to outbreaks of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), birds contaminated with
dioxin in Europe, E. coli O157: H7, the horsemeat scandal, coupled with the expansion of the supply chain
