TRAKKEY digital traceability program

The US FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204 aims to enhance food safety by improving supply chain traceability. The rule, also known as Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods, targets high-risk foods on the Food Traceability List and mandates detailed recordkeeping, traceability plans and rapid data sharing. These measures support the swift identification and removal of contaminated food from the market, reducing risks and strengthening consumer trust.

The compliance deadline is July 20, 2028, but many retailers are pushing suppliers for earlier adoption. SGS can help you to meet the requirements and confidently navigate compliance.

What happens in a FSMA 204 audit?

During a FSMA 204 audit, we will:

Assess your traceability system's capacity to quickly and accurately track food items through the supply chain to improve food safety and minimize risks
Identify gaps in compliance
Recommend tailored solutions to enhance operational efficiency and regulatory compliance
Validate your recordkeeping systems

SGS FSMA 204 audits will help you meet the FDA's new traceability requirements while improving your supply chain resilience. Preparing for these audits is essential for compliance and helps safeguard public health by ensuring your rapid response to contamination events.

Our audits focus on verifying the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of your key data elements (KDEs) and critical tracking events (CTEs).

Who needs a FSMA 204 audit?
Food manufacturers, processors, seafood producers, produce farms, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, food services providers, logistics providers and exporters who trade or export high-risk foods within the US or to the US.
