In April 2018, another FSMA deadline occurred for many involved in the movement of human and animal foods—the Sanitary Transportation of Food (STF) rule. 

This regulation establishes requirements designed to minimize risk during the transportation of food and beverages that could compromise its safety, from failing to properly refrigerate food to inadequately cleaning vehicles between loads. Larger businesses had to be in compliance by April of last year, and smaller businesses had an additional year.
