Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Section 204

In US food law, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 was a fundamental paradigm shift in regulatory oversight. The law known as FSMA focused on protection of public health through prevention of conditions that pose risk across the entire food supply chain. Section 204 of the law (FSMA 204), mandated Enhancing Tracking and Tracing of Food and Recordkeeping. As a result of FSMA 204, certain high risk foods must be traced from source to store. We can help you prepare to comply with the law.

Food Traceability Matters: Pinpointing the Source of Foodborne Illness

Foodborne illness outbreaks can be a serious threat to public health. When these outbreaks occur, swift action is crucial to identify the contaminated food source and prevent further illnesses. A robust food traceability system helps:


  • Identify the source: Trace the contaminated product back to its origin, pinpointing the specific point in the supply chain where contamination occurred.
  • Take targeted action: Isolate and remove the contaminated product from the market, preventing further illnesses.
  • Protect consumers: Issue targeted recalls, minimizing the number of potentially affected consumers.

Food traceability isn’t just a compliance issue, it’s a public health imperative. Together, by creating a transparent supply chain, we can prevent outbreaks and keep food safe for everyone.

Critical Tracking Events (CTEs)

Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) are specific activities during a food’s journey from source to store. Capturing information called at these points allows for faster tracing if there’s a problem with the food supply. Learn about where Traceability Lot Codes originate and and how what other Key Data Elements (KDEs) need to be recorded. Supply chains for different produces are different resulting in complexity. Our curriculum can help you understand the requirements of the FDA Food Traceability Rule.
