In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, businesses must be able to adapt to changes quickly to remain competitive. This is especially true in the food and beverage industry, where consumers' tastes and preferences can shift rapidly, supply chain disruptions can quickly lead to wasted products and lost profits, and evolving regulatory requirements constantly shift the goal posts for compliance.

In 2023, food traceability is reaching critical mass, as governments, food companies, and partners along the supply chain focus on creating a transparent, safer food supply chain for everyone. Trustwell’s recent research, the 2023 State of Traceability Report, showed that companies need to consider their traceability options today to stay relevant in the FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety blueprint.

Supply chain disruptions have impacted many industries in recent years, but not all industries are quite as fragile and important as the infant formula industry in the U.S. Infants represent one of the most vulnerable populations in our modern day, which means even the smallest of disruptions in the infant formula market can have detrimental impacts. Unfortunately, the past few years have seen intense shifts, from the pandemic slowing down production, to four separate recalls, and to a war in Ukraine that impacted critical supplies – the formula industry has not been able to catch a break since March 2020.

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law in January 2011, expanding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s jurisdiction over food safety and regulation. The Act establishes that those who produce, process, transport, distribute, or sell products serve a key role in maintaining food quality and safety, and further, they have a responsibility to keep the consumer safe.
GS1 US, along with a diverse FSMA 204 workgroup that includes Trustwell experts, has created a new industry guideline titled: “Retail Grocery and Foodservice Application of GS1 System of Standards to Support FSMA 204.”
