FRUIT INSPECTIONS Packers must carefully search the bunches for any sign of spiders and/or spider webs. If present – remove and report. Packers must carefully search the packing material for any signs of spiders and/or spider webs. If present – remove and report. QC staff should also identify and report spiders and spider webs.

SPIDER OBSERVATION A spider observation record must be completed daily. This serves as confirmation whether spiders and/or spider webs were found or observed during packing or not. Records will be used for traceability in cases where spiders and/or spider webs are found by cus tomers overseas.
