A written Traceability Plan is required for all FTL foods and must include a description of the procedures you use to maintain the required records, including the format and the location of the records. Your plan must include:
A description of the procedures you use to identify foods on the FTL that you manufacture, process, pack or hold
A description of how you assign traceability lot codes to foods on the FTL, if applicable
A statement identifying a point of contact for questions regarding your traceability plan and records
A farm map showing the areas in which you grow or raise FTL foods (other than eggs)
The farm map must show the location and name of each field in which you grow an FTL food, including geographic coordinates and any other information needed to identify the location of each field or growing area. This info only needs to be provided to the initial packer, and it can be a web link if applicable.
Regular updates as needed to ensure that your current practices are reflected and compliant with the FDA’s rules
Records of your previous two years of traceability plans after you update your plan
