Pandol Bros, Stevco, Sun World and Divine Flavor/Grupo Alta in the US have become the latest companies to confirm the use of YottaMark's traceable HarvestMark clamshells, for use on shipments of table grapes.
Each clamshell will carry a unique HarvestMark traceability code giving harvest and packaging information, which can in turn be entered into a database at HArvestMark.com to provide traceability information for buyers and consumers.
'Traceability has always played a pivotal role in our food safety programme,' said Stevco owner and CEO Steven Gilfenbain. 'Now with HarvestMark, we are extending our efforts and bringing trace-back capability to our clamshells to ensure that we continue to meet and exceed the standards of our customers, as well as consumers that buy and enjoy our high qualioty brand of table grapes every day.'
The HarvestMark-enabled grapes, sourced from California and Mexico, hit shelves this month and are set to continue through to the end of the season.
YottaMark president and CEO J. Scott Carr commented: 'With HarvestMark, growers and shippers are incorporating new levels of speed and efficiency into their food safety programmes, and delivering on-demand access to valuable information.
'We are excited that HarvestMark was selected as the traceability platform of choice for these leading grape producers, and we look forward to working together to launch their respective traceability initiatives and help enlighten, educate and inform those who are interested in learning more about their produce items,' he added.
