Abstract:

In this paper, a traceable code system for controlling quality and safety of vegetables from primary production to consumers was established. Based on the investigation of EAN·UCC, a global identification system combined with actual situation of agricultural supply chains and relevant national standards, the codes related to production origin of vegetables, products, harvesting, processing and traceability system were explored. The established traceable code system will be beneficial to standardize manufacture, processing, circulation and distribution and traceable management of vegetables. This study also can provide a technical support for realizing quality and safety traceability of vegetables.

Key words: food safety, vegetables, traceable code, EAN·UCC
