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.

We'll email you a PDF built from your answers. It lists each gap we found, the matching line in the FDA rule, the checklist item to fix it and a timeline working back from July 20, 2028. Your Readiness Score shows how ready your records and process look today. It isn't a compliance rating. Even a score of 100 doesn't mean you meet the rule.
This assessment is a planning tool, not legal advice. Check your own obligations against 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S and the FDA Food Traceability List.
