EAS Consulting Group, a trusted leader in regulatory affairs and food safety consulting, has announced its upcoming webinar: “A Guide to FSMA 204: Sorting Through the Confusion of the FDA’s New Traceability Rule for Added Food Safety.”

This exclusive online event will take place on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, and will offer invaluable insights into the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Rule 204, focusing on the FDA’s new traceability requirements that are shaping the future of food safety.

FSMA 204, or the Food Traceability Rule, will require enhanced recordkeeping for facilities handling foods that have a high risk of foodborne illness. To comply with the law, manufacturers who are subject to the rule must maintain enhanced traceability records, develop traceability plans, and provide records to the FDA in 24 hours.

Why Attend? Compliance with the requirements was originally set for January 2026. However, the FDA has now delayed implementation by 30 months to allow more time for small grocers to comply without undue financial and logistical strain. Compliance is likely to become mandatory in mid-2028.

While the compliance date has shifted, it’s never too early to determine whether your facility is subject to the rule, and if so, to better understand the requirements.
