Prepare now for the FDA's Food traceability requirements

Many food processors say navigating the complexities and uncertainties of FSMA Section 204(d) is challenging and confusing. 

The strict recordkeeping measures affect all parts of the supply chain, from farmers to food processors, and require the rapid identification, tracking, and recall of any contaminated foodstuffs to help protect public health. Data management will be essential for food processors to prepare for FDA investigations or audits.

The good news—it’s likely you have the information stored within your digital records. The key is accessing it and assembling it in the format auditors are looking for. Teresa Finn, Datacor’s Product Manager for Food and Beverage and Tracy Herb, LabelCalc Product Manager, will share strategies for mastering the FDA’s food traceability rules with data.

In this webinar, you will get answers to pressing questions such as:

  • What are auditors looking for right now?
  • How do I access the data elements needed to comply with FDA Traceability Rule 204?
  • What format does data need to be delivered in?
  • What data needs to be reported if a kill step is part of my process?
  • Should I be collecting information for foods not currently on the traceability list?
