This HarvestMark label not only allows the consumer to trace back the item to the field it was grown, it also gives other consumer friendly information. For the supplier the label traces back to packing line, pack date, and inbound lot number, and identifies date and location of trace event for marketing purposes.
Our comprehensive Trace/Recall, Food Security and Crisis Management Programs and Procedures are placed to assure the highest levels of safety and security for the products we ship. Good Agricultural Practices and Prerequisite Programs are now required of our suppliers as well.
All functions from Pre-harvest through Post-harvest are now controlled, monitored, and documented including:
- Site selection
- Adjacent land use
- Chemical usage
- Water sourcing and usage
- Pest control
- Harvesting practices including worker hygiene, equipment and field sanitation, product transportation and storage
Food traceability is another way the Progressive team helps you win!
