What Is the New Era of Smarter Food Safety?
FDA's New Era of Smarter Food Safety is a blueprint for modernizing food safety through technology, traceability, and partnerships. It builds on FSMA and aims to create a more digital, predictive, and responsive food safety system.
Core Pillars
The blueprint emphasizes tech-enabled traceability (e.g., the Food Traceability Rule), smarter tools and approaches, food safety culture, and leveraging partnerships. Each pillar has specific initiatives and timelines.
Traceability and the Food Traceability Rule
FSMA Section 204 implements enhanced traceability for foods on the Food Traceability List. Industry must record Key Data Elements at Critical Tracking Events. See FSMA 204 for compliance details.
