FSMA 204 readiness assessment

FSMA 204 Readiness Assessment

Twelve questions, about five minutes. You'll get a Readiness Score from 0 to 100 (higher means more ready), an urgency level and three next steps on screen, no email needed. The FDA won't enforce the Food Traceability Rule before July 20, 2028, but your retail customers (Walmart, Kroger) and your SQF auditor are asking now. This tells you how hard to lean in.

New to the rule? Start with our FSMA 204 overview.

This assessment is a planning tool, not legal advice.
