Which is precisely why the Food Traceability Rule matters. FSMA Section 204 requires lot-level records at every critical tracking event and delivery of those records to FDA in a standard electronic format within twenty-four hours. It was supposed to be in force on January 20 of this year. FDA proposed pushing it to July 2028, and Congress made that stick. Had it been operating, the twenty-seven-state distribution list and the real names behind those eight codes would have been in FDA's hands in a day — in May.
