Western Growers has joined the Partnership for Traceability (PFT) to help drive greater coordination across the food industry as stakeholders continue to implement the FDA’s FSMA 204 food traceability rule. While progress is underway, challenges remain—particularly for fresh produce companies navigating complex and diverse supply chain requirements. The PFT is developing a shared, overarching vision for traceability across the supply chain in partnership with government and all sectors of the food industry to advance compliance, promote adoption of interoperable systems and provide implementation support.

Given FSMA 204’s impact across diverse stakeholders, broad representation is needed from all segments of the supply chain. Western Growers is working to ensure that fresh produce voices are heard, and we encourage others in the industry to consider joining this effort. If your company is facing traceability challenges or has ideas for solutions, please reach out to Sonia Salas at [email protected]
