Read FDA’s full response to this FAQ: https://hubs.ly/Q02JWMSJ0 The FDA is currently developing an internal Product Tracing System (PTS) to receive and analyze food traceability data and more effectively and rapidly trace food within the United States. The PTS will enhance existing foodborne outbreak response processes, especially those by the FDA Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network.

One of the key requirements of #FSMA204 is that organizations covered by the rule must provide to FDA, within 24 hours upon request, required Key Data Elements (KDEs) in the form of an electronic sortable spreadsheet. Recently, FDA published a sample template that organizations can use as a guide when pulling their own traceability records into an electronic sortable spreadsheet format.
