The FDA’s FSMA 204 food traceability law requires additional traceability recordkeeping for foods on the Food Traceability List, which includes fresh, frozen and previously frozen finfish, smoked finfish, crustaceans and molluscan shellfish.
Guidance developed in collaboration with industry offers recommendations for using GS1 standards to help achieve extended supply chain visibility and traceability of certain food.
SpartanNash enables the real-time exchange of food traceability data across its suppliers, distribution centers, company stores and independent grocer customers.
The new program was designed to facilitate faster identification and rapid removal of potentially contaminated food from the market, resulting in fewer foodborne illnesses and/or deaths.
