There must be agreement between trading partners on what the traceable item is. This ensures that both partners are tracking the same thing; otherwise the chain will be broken. Each Trading Partner must define at least one level of traceable item for each shipment.
The table below lists the GS1 keys that are available for the identification of traceable objects, for the purposes of fresh produce the three main identification keys leveraged are the GTIN, GLN and SSCC, with GIAI & GRAI which can be leveraged for re-usable containers.
A full list of relevant GS1 Identification keys is available in the GS1 General Specifications.

Trade item identification
The GS1 system provides globally unambiguous identification keys to provide a common language for the communication of product information from company to company. The GS1 identification key for products is the GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). For decades, this GS1 identification key has facilitated the sharing and communication of product information among supply chain partners and has also provided the foundation for innovative improvements in supply chain management for many industries.
GS1 standards provide a choice regarding the granularity of trade item identification, leading to varying degrees of precision, as it pertains to traceability, that can be achieved as summarised in the following table.

Fresh Produce Traceability: Maintaining fresh produce traceability
Product type level identification (PLU/Association assigned identifier) provides the ability to see where different products are used in the supply chain, and to gather data based on counting products but not their source. This includes many inventory applications, sales analysis, etc. However, at this level, all instances of a given product are indistinguishable, which prevents real traceability.
Product-level identification (GTIN) this level of identification provides the ability to identify different types of product and their source. This can be used for inventory applications, sales analysis, etc. However, with this marking level, traceability can identify the grower/producer (or brand owner).
Batch/lot-level identification (GTIN + batch/lot ID) provides the ability to distinguish products in one batch/lot from another batch/lot. This is especially useful in business processes that deal with quality or food safety issues that tend to occur on a batch-by-batch basis, such as a product recall of a contaminated batch/lot. Batch/lot-level traceability lets you identify all the places in the supply chain where a given batch/lot has reached and confirm the quantity of items present from that batch/lot.
Instance level identification (GTIN + serial number) provides the ability to distinguish products from one another. This is especially useful in business processes that deal with quality or food safety issues for high value items. Serialisation traceability lets you identify all the places in the supply chain where a given item was handled and confirm the quantity of items present.
