The FDA Food Traceability Rule is a significant step towards improving food safety by enhancing the traceability of high-risk foods. The compliance date for the Rule is January 20, 2026, and many food industry professionals are facing new compliance and tracking challenges. The FSPCA is developing the core training curriculum for the food industry on the Food Traceability Rule and is anticipated to be available by mid-2025. Bring your questions to the FSPCA Annual Conference session on the Food Traceability Rule. We've invited FDA and industry experts to update you on the implementation of the rule, how the industry is preparing, and the development of the curriculum.
