An identifying device for a carrier such as meat hook (17) includes a transponder (not visible) in a housing (28). The housing may be pinned (29) in place as shown, be pressed into a hole drilled in the meat hook, etc. so tha t it is held within the bounds of the carrier. Typically the housing is made o f ultra high molecular polyethylene and the transponder therein is encased in epoxy resin. As the transponder has a unique code the carrier can be tracked through a meat processing plant despite impacts, harsh cleaning procedures, etc.
