Food Traceability Easing and Enhanced Food Safety
This act aims to simplify record-keeping for restaurants and food stores regarding food origin, while improving the speed and effectiveness of foodborne illness investigations. Citizens may experience quicker responses to food-related threats, enhancing their safety.

Restaurants, retail food establishments, and warehouses will not be required to maintain or provide traceability lot code information, reducing their administrative burden.
Pilot projects will be conducted to measure the effectiveness of investigations without lot codes and evaluate low-cost food tracing technologies.
The compliance date for new food traceability rules will be postponed, giving businesses more time to adapt.
A report will be prepared on barriers to information sharing between the FDA and food establishments to improve communication during outbreaks.
