Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule on food traceability designed to facilitate faster identification and rapid removal of potentially contaminated food from the market, resulting in fewer foodborne illnesses and/or deaths.
Foods subject to the final rule requirements appear on the Food Traceability List (FTL). The FTL includes fresh cut fruits and vegetables, shell eggs, and nut butters, as well as certain fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, ready-to-eat deli salads, cheeses, and seafood products.
The Internship Committee presented an internship solicitation letter at the LIFT. The letter has been revised to include all undergraduates for participation. Texas A&M had a sizable contingent in attendance at the LIFT and we are hoping this facilitated connections between students with food processing and production companies. We have included the letter as an attachment hopes that our members can have the opportunity to mentor these young professionals.

The website has been completed re-vamped and updated. Please be sure to go and explore the new additions and updates. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to info@tfpa.org.
