Run it for my facilityWhat triggers review
A California facility should run a filing check if it manufactures, processes, packs, or holds Food Traceability List foods, or if a customer asks for lot-level traceability data before shipment.
What to collect
Product categories, FTL-food SKUs, lot codes, suppliers, customers, shipping and receiving events, transformation steps, and traceability-plan ownership.
What RegFile does now
The checker organizes filing details for coverage review, record certification, and FDA transmission planning.
Useful before enforcement
Retailer traceability requests can arrive before the federal date.
FDA's current FSMA 204 frame points to July 20, 2028, but buyers can ask suppliers for earlier proof that lot codes, traceability lot codes, ASNs, pallet labels, and sortable records are available.
The RegFile checker asks for the same first-pass signals the workflow will use later: state, what the business does, FTL-food handling, retailer mandate status, and OSHA overlap.
