FDA Launches Challenge to Spur Development of Low- or No-Cost Food Traceability Tools

New Era of Smarter Food Safety FDA Launches Challenge to Spur Development of Low- or No-Cost Food Traceability Tools June 1, 2021 Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration launched a challenge to spur the development of affordable, tech-enabled traceability tools for human and animal foods. Through The FDA New Era of Smarter Food Safety Low- or No-Cost Tech-Enabled Traceability Challenge, the agency seeks food traceability solutions that utilize economic models that are affordable, with costs that are proportional to the benefits received, and can scale to encourage widespread adoption. Tech-enabled traceability is one of the foundational core elements of the New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative. However, affordability can be a barrier to the adoption of tech-enabled traceability systems, especially for smaller companies.  The FDA will accept submissions through July 30 and intends to announce up to 12 winners at the end of the challenge.
