TAG Presents 'Aligning Industry in a Shared Vision for Traceability' Webinar

Leavitt Partners and The Acheson Group will discuss in an upcoming webinar how a independent, sector-neutral governance body can align the food industry and regulators.


Join Leavitt Partners and The Acheson Group (TAG) for an informational webinar on the launch of a governing body to align industry in a shared vision for the enhanced food traceability required by the Traceability Rule (FSMA 204).

The governing body will provide an independent, sector-neutral forum for the industry to come together with peers, regulators, and technology vendors. The webinar, Food Traceability Public-Private Governing Body Informational Session, is at 12-1 pm ET, Feb. 20.

The presenters will discuss:

  • Why an independent, balanced, sector-neutral governance body with clear rules for engagement is best positioned to establish an effective and efficient implementation plan and provide for cooperation, coordination, and interconnection amongst industry stakeholders.
  • The need for an overarching blueprint to drive food traceability processes and standards, and how the drug industry’s successful model for industry-wide decision making and FDA collaboration can support food traceability.
  • The importance of defining the use cases, compliance requirements, and business requirements for food traceability across sectors.
  • The value in identifying a shared industry infrastructure for food traceability

Presented by Leavitt Partners Director Laura Brown and Principal Eric Marshall, and TAG’s EVP, Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Ben Miller and Senior Director, Regulatory Affairs and General Counsel Eric Edmunds, JD, the webinar will focus on how the governance body will provide a decision-making mechanism for critical questions of traceability implementation and a forum for technical implementation discussions between industry and FDA.
