FSMA 204

Food traceability records, ready for the FDA.

Why Haloglide

Built for FSMA 204.

The FDA Food Traceability Rule asks every business that grows, receives, transforms, ships or packs a food on the Food Traceability List to keep key data elements for each critical tracking event, and to produce them as a sortable spreadsheet within 24 hours of a request.

Haloglide captures those records as the work happens, against the lot they belong to, in GS1 and EPCIS 2.0. When the FDA, a retailer or your own recall team asks, the answer is already assembled.

Industry challenges

What gets in the way today.

A 24 hour clock

When the FDA asks, you have one day to produce a complete, sortable record of every event for the lots in question. Paper logs and disconnected systems cannot meet that.

Traceability lot codes that break

The rule hinges on the traceability lot code assigned at initial packing or transformation. If it is lost at the next step, the chain stops and so does your evidence.

Suppliers you cannot see into

Your records depend on the key data elements your suppliers send you. Most arrive by email or not at all, in a different shape every time.

How Haloglide helps

Capabilities tuned for your sector.

Critical tracking events, configured

Harvesting, cooling, initial packing, first land based receiving, shipping, receiving and transformation are set up as tasks, each asking for exactly the key data elements the rule requires.

Traceability lot codes that travel

Every lot carries its own scannable identity from the moment it is assigned, so the code survives packing, shipping and transformation and every event is recorded against it.

GS1 and EPCIS 2.0 native

Events are recorded in the standards the industry and the FDA expect, so data exchanged with trading partners lines up without translation.

The sortable spreadsheet, on demand

Filter by product, lot or date range and export the electronic sortable spreadsheet the FDA asks for, drawn straight from the live record.

Supplier capture without new software

Suppliers receive a simple task to complete on a phone or browser, so their key data elements arrive structured and on time.

A record that cannot be quietly changed

Every entry is dated and attributed. Corrections add a new entry and the original stays visible, so the record holds up under scrutiny.

Outcomes

What changes for your team.

Requests answered in hours

Produce the FDA record the same day, not after a week of spreadsheets and phone calls.

Narrower recalls

Trace a problem to the exact lots affected, and pull only those, instead of everything that shared a shed or a truck.

Retailer requirements met

The same records satisfy the traceability demands of major retailers, so you capture once and share with each buyer.

A day in the cockpit

The request arrives. The record is already there.

A retailer flags a complaint on a bagged salad. Your team searches the lot code, sees every event from field to shelf with its key data elements, exports the sortable spreadsheet and sends a scoped link to the buyer before lunch.
