Soon, companies producing or handling foods on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Traceability List will be required to generate and maintain more detailed records under the proposed rule that aims to supercharge the traceability of foods. Traceability is a joint responsibility, and standardized data systems are the key to sharing supply chain details between stakeholders in a timely and efficient manner.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a series of three virtual one-day public meetings at the end of 2020 to discuss the recently released proposed rule "Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods" (Food Traceability Proposed Rule).
