² Chi-square tests are applied to verify if size is statistically significant factor in adopting the backward traceability practice. The
conventional levels of significance are used. For meat plants, size is not found as a factor for both overall and pair-wise bases. For
poultry plants, size is found as a factor at the 1% overall, large versus very small plants at the 1%, small versus very small plants at the
5% (with p-value of 0.019), but not for large versus small plants.
