16A. TRACEABILITY SYSTEM

UMES EXTENSION

‡ You can create your own traceability system by adding an identification code starting with the harvested herb and link this code to the code of the final product. The link can simply be included in your recording of the products you make. In addition, tracing the harvested herb back to the original seeds or plugs will add an extra security in case the identity of the herb is questioned. ‡ A basic lot number includes the product code and the harvest date. ‡ Sample Code: LB-141-21, where LB is the herb, 141 is the day of the year starting with 1 on January 1st, and 21 is the year.
