URM Stores Inc., a food distributor in the Inland Northwest, has advanced efforts to comply with FDA’s FSMA 204 food traceability law through automation with the ReposiTrak Traceability Network. As the world’s largest operating traceability network, the ReposiTrak solution enables the exchange and maintenance of FDA-required data between the co-op’s suppliers, distribution centers and retail locations in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
“The FDA’s food traceability regulation is something we are taking very seriously,” said Julio Sandoval, director of food safety and regulatory compliance for URM. “We’re required by law to comply. But having this information and the ability to access it from anywhere, at any time, will also ultimately ensure better preparedness for inquiries and tracebacks for every member of our supply chain.”
