 The meat Tagging process is very high-priced because fo the following reasons.

1. After receiving the items, they will be checked against the purchase specifications to determine if they are acceptable.
2. A tag can be made for each item received if necessary. The main information is taken directly from the invoice. Each item is weighed individually and the weight recorded on the tag.
3. The tag is separated by the perforation. The control office copies of the delivery note or invoice and the kitchen copy are attached to the food item with string or wire.
4. The item is sent to the control office with the date and issue information.
5. The control office will often perform a reconciliation of tags form for meat, which records the tags from the receiving department as well as the ones from the kitchen. The total value of all expensive items would then be known.
