Food traceability is one of the hottest topics in food manufacturing and will remain so for the foreseeable future. As traceability requirements continue to get more detailed and require documentation to be provided to auditors within 24 hours, you need to make sure you:

  • Have a process in place to comply
  • Properly train your teams on how and why you need to comply
  • Digitally document all necessary checkpoints
  • Streamline other parts of your operations to be ready for these changes

In this session, Erik Kurdelak helps you understand:

  • Key food traceability definitions
  • Overviews of rules and compliance
  • Specific action items that must be taken to be FTR compliant
  • Methods you can use to prepare for the FTR compliance date
