The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance deadline is approaching quickly, giving companies less than a year to meet new food safety and traceability requirements. But beyond compliance, why does traceability matter?

In this episode, Wiggs Civitillo, Founder & CEO of Starfish,  joins hosts Reid Jackson and Liz Sertl to discuss how product traceability can streamline recalls, reduce food waste, and build consumer trust. Inconsistent data and lack of interoperability are some of the biggest challenges companies face in food traceability. Starfish addresses these challenges by enabling secure, seamless data sharing across the supply chain.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Practical solutions to meet FSMA 204 requirements efficiently
