Fresh produce, from the harvest lot to the shipment.
Record harvest lots, packing and shipments with traceability lot codes, and keep the key data elements buyers in the United States ask for under FSMA 204.
The challenge
Fresh produce moves in days, and a recall needs answers quickly.
Short shelf life
Lots are packed and shipped soon after harvest, and the records must keep up.
Codes assigned along the way
A traceability lot code is assigned at packing or transformation, and must follow the food.
Foods on the Food Traceability List
Many fresh fruits and vegetables are on the FDA's list, and their records must hold the key data elements.
How A-REX handles it
Every step is a proposal a person approves.
Register harvest lots
With their dates and the origin reference of the farm.
Pack and assign the code
Packing makes new lots that keep their inputs, each with its traceability lot code.
Ship with the key data elements
Receipts and shipments keep their key data elements with the code.
