The FDA on Nov. 30 announced a set of new “tools and FAQs” the agency posted to its website on upcoming food traceability requirements for high-risk foods. The updated website now includes a new webpage about traceability lot codes, “including examples of how Key Data Elements (KDEs) could appear on invoices and bills of lading,” the FDA said. It also includes examples of a traceability plan, new frequently asked questions and information on how to apply for a waiver or exemption, among other things. The compliance date for FDA’s food traceability rule, issued in November 2022 (see 2211150064), is Jan. 20, 2026, though FDA has said it will not begin routine inspections on compliance with the rule until 2027.
