The FSMA 204 compliance deadline is upon us. The rule requires traceability lot codes and detailed harvest records. To meet these requirements, many major buyers and distributors now expect standardized barcodes like GS1-128 on every case. Generate compliant labels in seconds — and meet buyer expectations without slowing down your harvest.

Under FSMA Section 204, growers of foods on the FDA Food Traceability List — leafy greens, tomatoes, fresh herbs, and more — are now required to maintain Key Data Elements including lot codes, harvest dates, and shipping records. If you're not sure where your operation stands, you're not alone.
FSMA Section 204 requires traceability lot codes and linked records. We generate GS1-128 barcodes that meet common buyer requirements.
Most traceability software was built for large packers and priced accordingly — thousands per year, lengthy onboarding, and features you'll never use.
You need something that works in the field on day one, without an IT department or a consultant. Compliance shouldn't slow down your operation.
Enter harvest dates, products, and lot numbers into your Google Sheet — the same way you already track your crops. No new system to learn.
Sign into farmlabel.app, choose the rows that are ready to go, and click Print. Batch IDs, GS1-128 barcodes, and voice pick codes are all generated automatically.
Labels designed for FSMA 204 traceability compliance land in your Google Drive immediately. Print as many copies as you need on any standard label printer — no per-print charges.
Developed by a team with roots in both agriculture and operations, farmlabel.app was built around how farms actually work — not how software vendors think they do.
Generates correct batch IDs with GS1-128 barcodes — GTIN, pack date, and lot number encoded to spec — plus PTI voice pick codes calculated automatically.
Just use an easy Google Sheet spreadsheet. Log harvest data the way you already do — the app reads it directly from your existing Sheet and handles the rest.
Pack-based credits mean you only pay for the unique traceable lot labels you actually generate. Simple, transparent, and fair.
Every PDF is filed in your Google Drive, linked back to your Sheet, and accessible from any device. Your traceability records are always ready for audit.
Each traceable lot label carries everything required for FSMA compliance and retail acceptance.
Choose a Label Pack that fits your seasonal harvest. Credits are valid for 12 months. Once you've used your pack, simply top up with a new one.
Note: Our specialized Google Sheets harvest tracker is now included free with all Label Packs for a limited time. This template is always included as standard with the Enterprise plan.
A unique label refers to a single data entry (one product/lot/date). You can print 1 or 1,000 stickers for that same lot at no extra cost.
Note: This will open your default email application to send the message.
We went from spending half a morning on labels to having them done before the first pallet was loaded. It just works.
