Supporting FSMA 204 Compliance

In an exciting step forward for food traceability and compliance, we have introduced FSMA 204 food traceability solutions. This comprehensive offering combines FSMA 204 audits, training and the TRAKKEY digital traceability platform to help businesses comply with the US FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Section 204 requirements.

Elevating compliance: FSMA 204 audits and training

We have developed a robust suite of FSMA 204 services to address the complex compliance needs of stakeholders in the food industry:

• FSMA 204 audits: our expert-led audits ensure organizations meet the FDA's rigorous traceability requirements. These audits focus on verifying the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of key data elements (KDEs) and critical tracking events (CTEs). By assessing the readiness of traceability systems, our audits support the swift identification and removal of contaminated food products, thereby safeguarding public health
• FSMA 204 training: our training programs provide food businesses with the knowledge and skills to implement robust traceability plans. Available online and in person, these courses cover critical aspects of FSMA 204, including traceability rules, KDEs and CTEs, enabling organizations to confidently navigate FDA inspections and meet regulatory demands
