Slide 3: Today's Topics
▪ Why are we talking about traceability and what are FTL Foods? ▪ Isn’t traceability just a food safety issue? ▪ Exempt?

Slide 12: Challenges for Implementation
Challenges for Implementation • Case-level traceability (traceability lot codes) • Direct Store Deliveries • Can’t rely solely on distributors to solve the problem for you • Exemptions = accepting someone else’s risk! • How are you verifying that someone is exempt? • Error rates • Do you trace every
Slide 13: What do I need to do next?
What do I need to do next? • Do an assessment – figure out your CTEs and KDEs and how you’ll track and store this data • Where is this data currently stored? How will you create a sortable spreadsheet for the FDA if requested? • Are there operational or IT changes needed to capture or query these da
