Which category uses Control 4?

Which category uses Control 4?

• A. SMX Paper and Disposables
• B. SMX Supplies and Equipment
• C. SMX Seafood
• D. SMX Frozen

Answer: (C)

Control codes in the Sysco Market system map to how products must be handled. Seafood is highly perishable and requires strict temperature-controlled handling from receipt to sale, along with specific QA checks tailored to fish and shellfish. That combination is standardized under the code designated for seafood, which is Control 4. Because of these unique handling and safety requirements, seafood is assigned this particular control. The other categories cover items with different handling needs—non-perishables like paper and disposables, general supplies and equipment, or frozen items that follow their own separate controls—so they don’t use the same code.
