Abstract

The federal Food Traceability Rule and Produce Safety Rule address different but complementary aspects of food safety. In this publication, Purdue University researchers support understanding and clarification by explaining the differences and how the rules work together within the Food Safety Modernization Act. This publication pairs with FS-73-W and FS-74-W.
