Plastic Pallet Barcode and RFID Checklist for Food Traceability

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A food customer may ask whether your plastic pallets can carry barcodes, QR codes, or RFID tags for traceability. That is a practical request, but it is easy to answer the wrong question. A label on a pallet can help connect a shipment, reusable asset, or warehouse status record. It does not, by itself, prove compliance with a food traceability rule.

For U.S.-bound routes involving foods on the FDA Food Traceability List, the buyer must confirm the applicable rule, exemptions, Critical Tracking Events, Key Data Elements, traceability lot codes, and customer data fields with the responsible food-safety or legal owner. The pallet supplier can help with model identification, label placement, RFID options, molded marks, and sample checks. Those are useful inputs, but they are not a substitute for the buyer’s food traceability records.
