What labeling requirement is specific to seeds in storage according to FAC 52451?

Each container of seeds in storage must be plainly marked with a lot number in accordance with FAC 52451. The lot number is critical for traceability, allowing for the identification of where and when the seeds were sourced, along with other pertinent details regarding their handling and storage conditions. This requirement serves to ensure quality control and accountability, particularly in the event of a product recall or investigation into seed quality issues. By having each storage container distinctly labeled with a lot number, it facilitates better inventory management and compliance with safety and regulatory standards within the nursery industry.
