Have you heard about the FDA's FSMA 204 traceability rule coming in 2028?

Readiness survey
FTL produce under FSMA 204

Built around the Pharr-Laredo crossing. Roughly 197,000 truckloads a year move through one bridge, and most of the records still live on paper.

The hardest thing for a paper operation to produce is the link between the lot that came in and the customer who got it. That link is exactly what the FDA tests, and what every operation will need to hand over electronically inside 24 hours by July 2028.

Paper and spreadsheets today

  • Lot code lost between the dock and the ledger
  • A trace means digging through paper for hours
  • No way to hand the FDA a sortable file

What FSMA 204 will require by 2028

  • Inbound lot code linked to the outbound customer at the time of shipment
  • Any lot's full history retrievable by search, not reconstructed from folders
  • Sortable electronic export, produced within 24 hours of FDA request

1

The phone survey

Six questions, ten minutes, by phone. Anonymous. We are speaking with owners and managers across the corridor about how their operation tracks lots today and where the 2028 deadline stands in their planning. Participants get the bilingual FSMA 204 guide by email within the hour.

2

The self-serve assessment

Twelve questions, eight minutes, online. Returns a readiness score and a one-page report naming the specific gaps between an operation's current records and what FSMA 204 will require. No call, no sales follow-up unless the participant asks for one.

3

What we publish back

An aggregate readiness snapshot for the corridor, with no operation named, shared with every participant when the research closes. The point is to leave the corridor better informed than we found it.
