Strawberry trace points
The records that make a strawberry trace work:
- Grower, block and picker per field tray
- Forced-air cooling start and end
- Grade and punnet lot
- Pallet SSCC and customer
- Frozen and value-add batches
Regulation and industry context
Strawberry is not on the FDA Food Traceability List, but retailers, GFSI schemes and export markets still require one-step-back, one-step-forward traceability.
Strawberries are usually packed in the field, so traceability has to start there. Chemical and isotopic profiling can verify cultivar and origin, and GS1's traceability assessor checklist sets out what auditors expect.
