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
How the research works

Campo360 is documenting how independent produce operations in Hidalgo, Cameron, and Webb counties are preparing for FSMA 204.

What FDA asks for
FDA asksRecords needed

When did it arrive?Receiving records, dates, quantities
What happened to it?Repacking, splits, transformations
Where is it now?Inventory and warehouse location
Who received it?Customer shipments and quantities

Five answers. Twenty-four hours. Sortable electronic format. That is the whole rule.

See the corridor's picture

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