FDA Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204)
Build the traceability plan and record kit the FDA rule asks for.
Answer a guided intake about your firm, the foods you handle, and how you track them. Tracelane writes the traceability plan (§ 1.1315), specifies the Key Data Element and Critical Tracking Event registers for the activities you perform, and lists what your team must be able to produce within 24 hours (§ 1.1455) — with the rule citation on every element.

When the intake does not support an answer, the element stays open and states the rule citation so your team knows exactly what is missing.
The workflow
From your intake to a plan you can hand to your team.
01
Describe
Name the firm, the FTL foods you handle, the activities you perform, and how you keep records today.
02
Generate
Tracelane writes each required plan element, specifies the register columns per activity, and builds the readiness checklist.
03
Review
Your team checks the facts, fills the open questions, and uses the registers to line up the records FDA may ask for.
For the person who keeps the food-safety records
Tracelane turns the rule text and your own practices into one plan, a column-by-column register specification per activity, and a plain checklist for the records request. It is built for small producers, not enterprise paperwork.
What stays with your team
The facts in the plan and anything submitted to FDA. Tracelane is not a law firm, does not certify compliance with the rule, and does not file anything with FDA. It documents what you tell it and cites the requirement it is answering.
Where the dates stand
FDA has set the compliance date for the Food Traceability Rule at July 20, 2028 and has said it will not enforce the rule before then. Confirm the current date and who is covered on FDA’s rule page before you rely on it. Starting early leaves time to set up lot codes and records rather than retrofitting them.
