Traceability Rule

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the Food Traceability Rule to quickly identify and mitigate risk associated with “high risk” foods prone to contamination. The complexity of FDA’s mandate impacts more than 10,000 products and puts an unnecessary paperwork burden on the food supply chain. FMI is committed to addressing the industry’s concerns with lawmakers and regulators. The below infographic, which is available for download, outlines the complexity of the Food Traceability Rule.
