Electronic security tags used for meat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Growing numbers of supermarkets and butchers are selling security tagged meat to fend off shoplifters and organised crime gangs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The Daily Telegraph reported.
Some outlets are using sensor labels embedded in trays or on packaging that set off alarms when prime cuts such as scotch fillet steak and lamb cutlets are swiped,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Security experts said the tactic had become more common as families felt the squeeze of rising costs of living, and gangs shopped to order to sell beef in pubs and clubs.
In some variety stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even relatively cheap $3.79 Lindt boxes of chocolates feature electronic surveillance labels.
Retail security firm Checkpoint Systems Australia is preparing to trial new "in your face" radio frequency antenna stickers on cosmetics - an alternative to the more subtle "dummy barcode" labels plastered on thousands of items. Managing director Mark Gentle said theft cost Australian shops more than $2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].3 billion a year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
A quick check of the supermarkets this week found radio frequency tags on goods ranging from a box of chocolates to CDs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], computer printer inks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hair brushes and expensive sunscreens and cosmetics.
Mr Gentle said retailers using meat security labels had to ensure they complied with health and safety standards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He estimated up to 100 supermarkets were now using the technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], compared with none five years ago.
Woolworths spokeswoman Claire Kimball said the supermarket had "for some time" had tags on high-value items including premium meat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as random items across the meat range".
"We also tag health care items including blades and make-up, as well as DVDs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], vitamins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], liquor and other general merchandise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Ms Kimball said.
Vitag managing director Greg Raubenheimer said a handful of wholesale butchers in NSW and Victoria had ordered meat security labels in the last six months.
Mr Raubenheimer said the expanding health and beauty market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including men's cosmetics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was a focus.
"Many retailers are broadening the number of products that are protected. Increasingly, they are going to manufacturers and asking them to incorporate the security,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Mr Raubenheimer said.
A Target spokeswoman said staff had fitted certain chocolates with radio frequency tags for some time at high-risk locations. The chain store's general manager,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Colin Haggerty, said various types of security tags,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not just radio frequency,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had helped reduce theft in the past three years.
