The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be hosting three online public meetings to discuss the recently released proposed rule “Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods.” The meetings will provide additional information about the proposed rule, which was issued under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, and are intended to facilitate and support the public’s evaluation and commenting process on the proposed rule.

As previously reported in Spotlight, the FSMA Proposed Rule for Food Traceability will establish additional traceability recordkeeping requirements for certain foods.
