Asparagus trace points
The records that make a asparagus trace work:
- Field block and harvest crew per bin
- Hydro-cooling time and temperature
- Grade by spear length and diameter
- Bunch and carton lot codes
- Air-freight consignment for export
Regulation and industry context
Asparagus is not on the FDA Food Traceability List, but retailers, GFSI schemes and export markets still require one-step-back, one-step-forward traceability.
Origin fraud is a real issue for premium asparagus: protected-origin products such as Evesham asparagus (UK PGI) and Marchfeld asparagus (Austria) are verified with isotope analysis, and GS1's APEC asparagus case study shows barcode-based traceability from Peru to importers.
