ReposiTrak Adds 40 Specialty Food Suppliers to Food Traceability NetworkReposiTrak Adds 40 Specialty Food Suppliers to Food Traceability Network

ReposiTrak, a global food traceability and regulatory compliance network, has added 40 specialty food suppliers to the queue of companies joining the ReposiTrak Traceability Network (RTN). These new members will efficiently exchange intricate, FDA-required Key Data Elements (KDEs) for each Critical Tracking Event (CTE) in their supply chains, with the goal of meeting traceability requirements before the January 20, 2026, deadline.

One of the 40 suppliers has delivered farm-inspired meals since its founding in 1948 and is now a leading producer and distributor in the refrigerated and frozen breakfast categories. A second is a California-based supplier established in 2010, that has been at the forefront of plant-based lifestyles, producing innovative beverages with a commitment to sustainability. A third has been innovating in gluten-free alternatives since 2016, creating comfort foods like cauliflower-based pizzas and tortillas.

The Food Modernization Safety Act (FMSA) has established traceability recordkeeping requirements for companies/people who manufacture, process, packs, or hold foods included on the Food Traceability List (FTL). One of the core requirements is that persons subject to the rule who manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods on the FTL, maintain records containing KDEs associated with specific CTEs; and provide information to the FDA within 24 hours or within a reasonable time to which the FDA has agreed.

The ReposiTrak Traceability Network requires no additional hardware or software. The team assists in making the connections needed under the new regulation. Suppliers can connect to an unlimited number of trading partners and share data for a fee.
