Experts from the seafood, produce, dairy and
other key parts of the food retail industry convene as a committee
to share knowledge and ensure cross-category cooperation.
ReposiTrak, operating the world’s largest food supply chain
network of nearly 30,000 retailers, wholesalers and suppliers, is
leading a committee of highly respected food industry experts to
address the challenges surrounding the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s new food traceability law, FSMA Section 204(d) or
FSMA 204. Together, members of the ReposiTrak Traceability Network®
Advisory Committee (RTNAC) aim to advance the development of a
complete, low-cost food traceability solution for compliance with
FSMA 204.
“With just 28 months until the FDA’s enforcement deadline, rapid
advancements in food traceability are happening now — and companies
across the food supply chain are catching on,” said Derek Hannum,
ReposiTrak chief customer officer. “However, the mindset that FSMA
204 compliance is either impossible — or only done through system
changes and additional labor — must evolve.”
The RTNAC has outlined several objectives, including the
following:
- The reduction of the actual and perceived costs and
difficulties around adopting food traceability in any supply
chain.
- Providing the industry with important insights and
understanding around the FSMA 204 regulation and breaking down the
barriers between category requirements.
FSMA 204 requires companies that manufacture, process, pack or
hold foods on the Food Traceability List (FTL) to establish and
maintain key data element records for specific critical tracking
events as a product traverses the food supply chain. The rule’s
requirements, as well as the challenges and obstacles to
compliance, vary based on the types of FTL foods harvested or
handled by a company and by the intricacies of its supply chain.
Guided by these principles, ReposiTrak reached out to individuals
from the most recognized trade associations in each part of the
industry. Each of those organizations, in turn, selected
representatives knowledgeable about both traceability and their
category’s compliance concerns.
The RTNAC members include the foremost experts in scientific and
regulatory affairs for the industry as a whole and specifically for
the seafood category, quality and food safety as it relates to
dairy, eggs and other packaged goods, communications within the
grocery and wholesale community, as well as experts in the produce
supply chain and in sustainability practices.
“The members of the RTNAC understand both the inherent benefits
of true, end-to-end food traceability, and the tangible work it
takes to achieve it,” continued Hannum. “They’re the experts
helping to get the concerns of their respective industries heard as
we work toward industrywide adoption of our tech-enabled food
traceability solution.”
Without requiring new hardware or software, additional labeling
and scanning steps, or the use of outdated data capture methods,
the ReposiTrak Traceability Network is the industry's preferred
low-cost, easy-to-adopt solution for FSMA 204 compliance. More than
8% of retail grocery stores, 1,200-plus suppliers and more than 20
distribution centers have already joined the network. Those
