What is the FDA’s New Food Traceability Rule?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented a new food traceability rule, officially known as the Food Traceability Rule, designed to enhance the agency’s ability to quickly and efficiently track food products throughout the supply chain. This means tracing food from its origin (farm, ranch, or other growing location) all the way to the consumer. The goal is to significantly improve the speed and effectiveness of responding to foodborne illness outbreaks and other safety issues. This rule applies to a wide range of foods, including fresh produce, meat, and processed foods.
