Large Retailer in U.S. Midwest Selects ReposiTrak for Traceability
ReposiTrak, operating the world’s largest food supply chain network of nearly 30,000 suppliers, is now providing its Repositrak Traceability Network service to a 300-store retail grocery chain in the U.S. Midwest. The use of ReposiTrak’s Traceability Netweork supports the major retailer in its three-step approach toward compliance with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Traceability Final Rule under Section 204 of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
The first step of the approach creates end-to-end traceability for the retailer’s commissary business by completing the connection from commissary suppliers through to the retail stores. The second step brings the same structured process to distribution centers, and the third and final step connects its Direct Store Delivery (DSD) vendors at the store-level. Other retailers are expected to follow the same approach to make full, end-to-end food traceability an integral part of everyday operations.
