Rothex: Traceability of eggs has never been easier than with GS1 standards

Though Rothex had a traceability system in place, it did not help solve for the determination of batch sizes when receiving eggs from supply farms.
Rothex: Traceability of eggs has never been easier than with GS1 standards

There were neither standardised spreadsheets, records nor labels.

Rothex now has a traceability system that leverages GS1 standards to uniquely identify the eggs by lot/farm and pallet. Each pallet of multiple lots of eggs is identified with a GS1 Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) that in encoded with the lot identifiers in a GS1-128 barcode. By scanning the barcode, the company can easily identify the different lots or farms from which they came.
