Traceability and Transparency: Leveraging Data for USA Compliance

The FDA is increasingly focused on food traceability to ensure safety, especially after outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. This session explores how companies can leverage data integration tools and technologies to improve traceability and comply with FDA regulations, enhancing transparency across the supply chain.

Unpack the implications of the FDA’s Enhanced Rule for Traceability, including the recent decision to delay FSMA 204 enforcement by 30 months to 2028. While the deadline extension offers a longer runway, most major companies are still unprepared to meet the rule’s stringent requirements. This webinar breaks down how businesses can use real-time monitoring and data integration to gain a competitive edge.

In addition, review findings from the Reagan-Udall Foundation that underscore the urgent need for a more modernized food safety system. You will take away best practices for building resilient, transparent supply chains that are audit-ready and aligned with regulatory expectations.

Whether you’re just beginning to assess your traceability readiness or looking to strengthen your current approach, this session will deliver actionable insights for staying ahead of compliance.

In this webinar, you’ll discover:

  • What the FSMA 204 extension means and how the Enhanced Traceability Rule is reshaping compliance

  • How to implement data integration tools for end-to-end supply chain visibility

  • Best practices for achieving real-time traceability and transparency

  • Key insights from the Reagan-Udall Foundation and where major players stand on readiness
