Food Traceability Made Simple Banner
Food Traceability Solutions for 2026 Compliance

The FDA’s Food Traceability Rule, part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), takes effect on January 20, 2026. This rule requires businesses in the food supply chain to maintain detailed records that track the movement of certain foods from farm to table. We provide the labeling and tracking solutions to help your food and beverage operation stay compliant.

What Does the Food Traceability Rule Require?

Recordkeeping

Companies must keep records of food's journey from farm to table, including when and where it was received, processed, and shipped.


Traceability Plans

Companies must create electronic plans that describe how they'll maintain food records.


Reporting

Companies must provide records to the FDA within 24 hours if requested during an outbreak or recall.


Traceability data

Companies must keep records for at least two years.
