Smaller World (Bar Code Inspection)

According to Steve Arens, director, food and beverage, at the Uniform Code Council, preliminary application guidelines for labels, symbol size, and data content for both meat and produce will be available soon, so retailers/wholesalers can begin working with equipment suppliers on implementation, and with product suppliers on label requirements. The majority of initial RSS applications may be produced with stand-alone bar code printers, but if you're thinking you won't encounter this symbology on-press anytime soon, think again (see sidebar below).
