FSMA 204 & PTI Traceability Standards for US Growers

Under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA Section 204), growers of foods on the FDA Food Traceability List (FTL)—such as fresh tomatoes, leafy greens, peppers, herbs, and melons—must maintain and assign a Traceability Lot Code (TLC). When shipping produce into wholesale and retail distribution channels, buyers universally mandate GS1-128 barcodes adhering to the Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI).

GS1-128 Symbology

Combines the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN-14 via AI 01), Pack/Harvest Date (YYMMDD via AI 13), and your assigned internal Lot Code (AI 10). This ensures complete scan interoperability from the farm gate through wholesale distribution.

Voice Pick Code (VPC)

Calculated using a CRC-16 algorithm combining your GTIN, Lot, and Date. Voice-directed warehouse systems use the small and large digit pairs to confirm accurate pallet selection in distribution centers.
