FSMA 204 Countdown: One Year to Compliance – Are You Ready? https://www.ifoodds.com - In case you missed it, iFoodDS hosted a traceability webinar last month. The webinar was a great reminder and provided some valuable information about FSMA 204, which goes into effect early next year!
Why Do We Need Better Food Traceability? Food traceability isn’t just about reacting to outbreaks—it’s about preventing them. Transparency Drives Safety - Track food from source to shelf, boost consumer confidence, and hold producers accountable. To Close the Gaps - Genome sequencing finds “needles,” but traceability identifies the haystack—the contaminated food and its source. To Make an Impact - In 2020, enhanced traceability during a salmonella outbreak helped avert a nationwide advisory, avoiding widespread panic and waste. Watch our webinar for an in-depth look at how better traceability leads to safer food and saving lives. https://lnkd.in/dVxgPHCg - Happy New Year! The countdown to compliance is on. Are you ready?

Why are outbreaks across the food supply chain still occurring? That’s not a simple question to answer, but Frank Yiannas M.P.H. shared his perspective during our recent food traceability webinar on some contributing factors, such as how risk assessments are conducted and the types of controls the food system relies on. He also shared that we should utilize opportunities to take corrective actions and perform root cause analysis. - Happy New Year from New Era Partners! And cheers to another collaborative year ahead as we work together to create a safer food supply and by achieving end-to-end traceability.
