If you manufacture, process, pack, or hold any of the foods on the FSMA 204 Food Traceability List, you are required to keep additional records as per the U.S. FDA. These new requirements will assist the U.S. FDA in more rapidly and effectively tracking the movement of food to prevent or mitigate foodborne illness outbreaks and to address potential recalls.
