    On September 21, 2020, the FDA of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the "Partial Food Trace Records Requirements" regulations, in which the "Food Traceable Varieties List" covers fresh fruits and vegetables from leafy green products, some types of aquatic products, eggs, nut butter, etc.
    regulation standardizes data elements and information to facilitate the transmission of information to the next unit in the food supply chain for rapid and accurate traceability.
    the regulation, the FDA can more quickly identify the source of contaminated food, reduce product recalls, conduct timely root cause investigations, understand how pollution occurs, and prevent the re-occurrence of contamination.
    regulations require units that produce, process, package and hold food products on the food traceability list to make and maintain relevant records.
    phase records should contain "critical data elements" such as traceable lot numbers, product receipt dates, shipping dates, product names, and so on.
    the review period for this regulation is 120 days.
