FDA gave industry three years to come into compliance with the Traceability Rule (FSMA 204). There’s now just over a year left; hopefully the terms CTEs, KDEs, and TLCs – for your FTL foods and those of your suppliers – have become familiar to you. This session discusses where you should be on your traceability journey and what to do if you’re behind. Whether you think you’re close to compliance or are just getting started, this session will help to ensure you’re ready for January 2026.
Traceability Rule compliance is complex, but can be simplified by taking a strategic approach: determining how the rule impacts you, defining what you need for compliance, then making the changes. Wherever you are on your journey, this session will help.
