In today’s fast-paced food industry, compliance with safety regulations isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s a commitment to protecting public health and fostering trust with consumers. With the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Final Rule on Food Traceability going into effect on January 20, 2026, businesses handling certain foods must adhere to strict traceability requirements. SCLogic’s logistics platform, Intra, offers a robust chain of custody solution to help companies meet these standards with confidence and ease. 

What Does FSMA Compliance Entail?

The FSMA Final Rule focuses on enhancing traceability for foods on the FDA’s Food Traceability List (FTL), such as leafy greens, soft cheeses, and seafood. Key requirements include:

• Recordkeeping: Maintaining detailed data on Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) like growing, receiving, transforming, and shipping.
  
• Traceability Plans: Developing a comprehensive plan outlining procedures, responsibilities, and recordkeeping practices.
• Data Accessibility: Providing traceability data to the FDA within 24 hours of a request.

For many businesses, these requirements may seem daunting. That’s where SCLogic’s Intra platform comes in.
