How It Works

What the Programme Covers

Six modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.

  1. 1

    The Food Traceability Rule

    21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S, who it covers, the Food Traceability List and the exemptions.

  2. 2

    Critical tracking events

    Harvesting, cooling, initial packing, first land-based receiving, receiving, transformation and shipping, and which ones apply to you.

  3. 3

    Key data elements and traceability lot codes

    What to record at each event, who assigns the lot code and how it travels down the chain.

  4. 4

    The traceability plan

    The written procedures, the description of your lot code system, the farm map and the named contact.

  5. 5

    Records and the 24 hour request

    Record formats, retention periods and how to build the electronic sortable spreadsheet FDA expects.

  6. 6

    Your own traceability plan and a mock FDA request

    You build the lot code system and plan for your own products, then answer a mock FDA records request against the clock.

The Regulations and Standards We Teach Against

  • USThe Food Traceability Rule (21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S), the Food Traceability List and its key data elements, and the FSMA framework under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
  • InternationalISO 22005:2007 on traceability in the feed and food chain, and the Codex principles for traceability and product tracing.
  • EURegulation (EC) 178/2002 Article 18, the one step back and one step forward rule, which has no product list and no 24 hour spreadsheet.
  • UKRetained Regulation 178/2002 Article 18 and FSA guidance on traceability, the same one step back and one step forward approach.
  • CanadaThe Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, Part 5 traceability, which applies to every licensed food with no product list.
  • Australia and New ZealandFSANZ Standard 3.2.2 records for food receipt and recall, and the Food Act 2014 in New Zealand.
  • GFSI schemesThe traceability and mass balance tests in BRCGS, IFS, FSSC 22000 and SQF, and how they sit alongside the FDA rule.

How We Tailor It to You

We check your product list against the Food Traceability List before the first session. The lot code system, records and spreadsheet you build are for your own products, your own suppliers and your own customers.
