NEW Hands-On Workshop: Ensuring Traceability and FSMA 204 Compliance: Key Steps for Success
Tuesday, February 25, 2:00 PM - 3:45 AM
With deadlines for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Rule 204 fast approaching, you might have started identifying some possible next steps to prepare to meet these requirements. When evaluating these solutions, have you asked yourself:
- Are they the simplest?
- Are they the fastest?
- Are they the most cost-effective?
- Are they the right ones for your company?
- Are they leveraging investments you may already have?
Join traceability experts from GS1 US as they guide you through a hands-on workshop that provides the base knowledge you’ll need on GS1 Standards, key FSMA Rule 204 requirements, and how they intersect. Take part in hands-on exercises focused on tracing tomatoes from farm to fork. Explore challenges and solutions in sharing traceability information with trading partners.
