Live data
Used across the supply chain by licensees, retailers, Traceability Challenge assessors and Red Tractor teams, Checkers & Services is a free-to-use, up-to-date, single source of assurance and licensing information, helping users verify the assurance status of Red Tractor members and whether their suppliers hold a valid Red Tractor Licence (where required).
