FSPCA Food Traceability Rule (FTR) - Training for the Food Industry Participant Course
The FSPCA FTR Training for the Food Industry participant course is a core, industry-oriented training that provides participants with the knowledge that is needed to understand and comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Final Rule on Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods, or Food Traceability Rule (FTR) under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
The participant course content is focused on providing the participant with an understanding of FTR record keeping requirements, how to recognize the requirements applicable to them based on the supply chain activities they perform, how traceability data is transmitted through the supply chain, and what is required in a Traceability Plan. The training also covers how companies may approach establishing food traceability programs and procedures, including supply chain and data considerations.
The FTR curriculum was designed by regulatory, academia, and industry professionals and developed with funding from FDA as part of the FSPCA.
