All of our fresh mushroom packages have a printed code, which includes our facility code, Julian date, and packing line number, on the package.
This tells you (and us) when the mushrooms were packed, where, and on what production line, providing full transparency and traceability.
Decoding the Facility Code: Examine the numbers printed on your package and match them with one of the facility codes below. For example, location code 115 means it was packed in Morgan Hill, California.
115 is Morgan Hill, California
140 is Madisonville, Texas
150 is Loudon, Tennessee
510 is San Miguel de Allende
Understanding the Julian Date: The Julian date is a continuous count of days starting January 1. January 1 is 001.Unlike traditional calendar dates, Julian dates don't have months or specific days of the week. They simply count the days from the beginning of the year.
Putting it all together: Now that you know how to decode the facility code and read the Julian date. You can determine, for example, the date code 150 173 4 was packed in Loudon, Tennessee on June 21st.
