Health and Human Services Department, Food and Drug Administration

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is announcing a public meeting titled "Challenges and Solutions in Lot- Level Food Traceability." The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for the public to share information on continued implementation of the Food Traceability Rule and areas of concern, especially as they relate to lot-level tracking, and identify potential flexibilities to support compliance. In addition, FDA has developed a discussion paper titled "Identifying Additional Flexibilities for Satisfying the Food Traceability Rule's Lot-Level Tracking Requirement" that includes potential flexibilities for lot-level food traceability and questions we have regarding those flexibilities. This discussion paper may be helpful to speakers as they develop remarks for the public meeting. We are also providing an opportunity for all stakeholders to submit feedback on the discussion paper.
