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.
Body
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.
