ForHeads of food safety and supply-chain traceability at growers, distributors and retailers.
What’s changing, and when
The FDA's food traceability rule, published in November 2022, requires firms that handle foods on its Food Traceability List to keep records of key events along the chain. Records must reach the FDA within 24 hours of a request. Congress directed the FDA not to enforce the rule before 20 July 2028, and the FDA says it will follow that date.
- Nov 2022 Final rule published
- Jul 2028 Compliance date
Why it can’t happen in one step
Every grower, packer, shipper and retailer in the chain has to capture the same events in a form the others can use, and they all move at different speeds.
