The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced an extension to the compliance date for the Food Traceability Rule under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Section 204. While this gives the food and beverage (F&B) industry more time to meet the regulation’s rigorous standards, it’s not a reason to delay preparation. In fact, now is the best time to accelerate efforts toward compliance.

New rules are placing even greater pressure on the food and beverage (F&B) industry to monitor and manage ingredients and account for their movement throughout the supply chain. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issuing the Final Rule of the Food Safety Modernization Act and implementing Section 204, anyone involved in the processing, packing, storage, and shipping of foods now needs to follow very specific guidelines to ensure every ingredient is completely traceable.

However, manual creation of CoAs is time consuming and increases the risk of input errors. Datacor’s software solution is specifically designed to facilitate the process of CoA generation, customization and record keeping.
