Apple trace points
The records that make a apple trace work:
- Grower, block and variety per bin
- Regular or CA storage room and opening date
- Pre-sizing and grading lot
- Tray, bag and carton lot codes
- Export protocol and container
Regulation and industry context
Apple is not on the FDA Food Traceability List, but retailers, GFSI schemes and export markets still require one-step-back, one-step-forward traceability.
Apples can sit in controlled-atmosphere storage for 6–10 months, so traceability must link each carton to its storage room and opening date as well as the orchard block. Research on apple supply chains links traceability directly to consumer confidence after food safety incidents.
