The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced March 20 that the Traceability Rule is being
delayed for 30 months. The rule was to go into effect January 1, 2026, but now enforcement will not
start for at least 2.5 years. FDA will be publishing a proposed rule at a later date. There are no indications
at this time what changes they plan to make or how it will impact growers of different size operations.
