FDA’s Final Food Traceability Rule is a pivotal component in the regulatory paradigm under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), introducing new traceability record-keeping requirements. The compliance date for the Food Traceability Final Rule is set for January 20, 2026.
With this course, you will learn how to comply with FDA's FSMA requirements for Food Traceability under FDA's 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S. It is designed to not only teach you the ins and outs of the rule but to actively engage you in practical exercises, ensuring a hands-on understanding of compliance measures.
This training serves as your guide through the new FDA requirements and implications, providing clarity for businesses involved in the manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of foods on the Food Traceability List (FTL).
For those uncertain about the rule's applicability or those seeking guidance on the next steps, our workshop will cover all essential concepts needed for compliance, such as Critical Tracking Events (CTEs), Key Data Elements (KDEs) and Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs). This course will be useful for individuals responsible for developing and managing traceability programs.
The course is self-paced online training-log in and out according to your schedule. You have 6 months to complete the training. It should take approximately 2 hours. Upon completion of all 4 modules, you may print a certificate of completion.
