FDA Announces Public Meeting on Challenges and Solutions for Lot-Level Traceability

The FDA is hosting a public meeting on June 15, 2026, to give the public an opportunity to share information on implementation of the Food Traceability Rule and areas of remaining concern, specifically as they relate to lot-level tracking and flexibilities for compliance. 

This meeting is part of a series of engagements being held in accordance with a directive from Congress in the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act of 2026.

The public meeting is free and open to the public, but registration is necessary to attend. More information about registration and how to request to speak during the public comment period are available on our meeting page. General registration will remain open until June 14, but individuals who want to speak during the public comment period must register by June 5.  Anyone who has already registered through the Partnership for Food Traceability website does not need to register again. 

FDA intends to open a docket folder and issue additional materials ahead of the meeting, which will be shared at a later time.
