Meat Messaging Digital Link

Meat Messaging supports searching using the Digital Link model.

The idea of the Digital Link search model is to allow a simple search implementation based on scanned data, such as via a mobile app.

The basis of the digital link is the use of a base URL: https://dl.meatmessaging.info/ and then the use of three specific search definitions.

The digital link implementation in Meat Messaging breakdowns the data and runs a search based on the data type and the data.

The digital link implementation in Meat Messaging is forgiving in terms of additional 01 and 00 prefixes as well as including or no inclusion of subsequent "/" in the search strings.

Search options:

  • /01/ or /gtin/ which are the GTIN and AIs for the barcode on the meat carton eg 9934873100999731020027201318071921141921482
  • /00/ or /sscc/ which is the SSCC barcode for the consignment eg 993487310070933932 or individual pallets eg 893487310003783668
  • /7230/ or /cert1/ which are the Health Certificate number for a consignment. eg 49999991
