ON DEMAND WEBINAR

The FDA’s Food Traceability Rule: What, Why, and How – Plus Q&A with the FDA

Join this complimentary webinar as traceability experts from the FDA will introduce the core requirements of the new Food Traceability Rule, explain its exemptions, and help answer audience questions. The webinar will also include a look at potential solutions to streamline your implementation journey.

Background: The FDA Food Traceability Rule establishes traceability recordkeeping requirements, beyond those in existing regulations, for persons who manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods included on the Food Traceability List (FTL). The final rule is a key component of FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint and implements Section 204(d) of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The new requirements identified in the final rule will allow for faster identification and rapid removal of potentially contaminated food from the market, resulting in fewer foodborne illnesses and/or deaths.
