We hope we never need it, of course, and our record to date is impeccable, but we are meeting PTI requirements in\u00a0food traceability. Through\u00a0barcode labels\u00a0on each pallet and also each carton of fruit, we are confident that, should a problem arise, we can have an answer within a few minutes by knowing which farm the fruit came from, how it was grown, any pesticides or fertilizers used in the process, and the day the fruit was harvested, hauled and shipped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Tanto Labels we supply everything to do with barcode labels and barcode label printers.
