Business owners can use barcode labels to provide the high-level data demanded by the law. The barcode can consist of information such as batch number, supply-chain history, date of manufacture etc. The customers or authorities can track all details of a particular item by scanning the barcode label stuck on it.
The 1D barcode label can be seen on different kinds of retail products. They consist of only a few lines of numerical data which can be read by a barcode scanner. These barcodes serve as a quick and easy way to pass on information through the supply chain spaces like warehouses and retail stores. The development of 2D barcodes has brought about a revolution of technology and information through supply chains and product spaces. The 2D barcodes and advanced QR (Quick Response) codes have become very popular over time.
Governed by the G1 standards body, QR codes can hold up to 7089 numbers or 4269 alphanumeric characters. With this capability, one can include a lot of information in a single barcode. Extensive details such as website address can also be incorporated in it. Scanning a QR code is simple too. QR codes can be scanned using any basic smartphone. Scanning the code provides direct access to data (updated in real time) that is stored in the code.

Producers are often required to have a strict testing of their product, along with the ability to track the quality and standard of the plant right from seed to the final product. When they provide all this information in their barcode labels, the inspectors can gain access to the required information easily.
