Hi everyone, 

 

Is anyone else struggling with the FSMA204 Final Rule regulations? In theory it all seems simple, track your product and the ingredients that make up the FTL (Food Traceability List) at each step. We are struggling with our GDST and syncing it to our current ERP and feels like we're doing it blind. Can anyone share some insight that made it all "click" for them?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Helen

No insights yet, we too are struggling with what it's going to look like for us.  The ability to get it all into a sortable excel file at random FDA demand is also a factor for us.  Enforcement appears to be delayed to 2027 now, so it's hard to get traction to make changes at my company for now.  Knowing that our customers are affected is likely going to be the driving factor for us, once they start asking for it it'll become a rush project lol.  I also forecast we'll have some struggles with our smaller farms and packing houses to sort through whatever hodgepodge they come up with for sending the KDE's to us (I'm in the cut fruit and veg industry just as a heads up).

Thank you for sharing, we're in the Seafood industry ourselves. I really struggle to figure out how to get out of the weeds and have some traction to this data while higherups are demanding implementation plans and presentations... we are just not there yet.
