ReposiTrak Onboards 40 New Nut Butter Suppliers to Its Growing Food Traceability Network
ReposiTrak Expands Food Traceability Network with Addition of 50 Nut Butter Product Suppliers
ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK), recognized as the world’s largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, has announced the addition of 50 new suppliers specializing in nut butter products to its ReposiTrak Traceability Network® (RTN). This expansion aims to enhance the exchange of FDA-required Key Data Elements (KDEs) for each Critical Tracking Event (CTE) within supply chains, ensuring compliance with the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Section 204 well ahead of the January 2026 deadline.
Diverse and Established Suppliers Join the Network
The newly added suppliers represent a broad spectrum of the food industry, from longstanding global corporations to innovative health-focused brands. Among them is a company with over 150 years of history, known for its extensive portfolio of more than 100 globally recognized brands. Another is a Belgium-based innovator in natural snacking, founded in 1932, offering a collection of well-known snack food brands. Additionally, a U.S.-based leader in snack foods, established in 1913, joins the network with a diverse range of products including pretzels, sandwich crackers, potato chips, cookies, popcorn, and nuts distributed globally cite turn0search1.
These companies are committed to enhancing traceability within their supply chains, ensuring that products containing nut butters are accurately tracked from origin to consumer.
Meeting and Exceeding Regulatory Requirements
The ReposiTrak Traceability Network® facilitates the seamless exchange of KDEs for each CTE, a critical component in complying with FSMA 204. This regulation mandates comprehensive recordkeeping for foods listed on the FDA’s Food Traceability List, which includes nut butters. By joining RTN, suppliers can efficiently manage traceability data, meeting both FDA requirements and the specific needs of their retail partners.
Randy Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “Suppliers are joining not just to meet FDA requirements, but also to align with the stricter demands of many retailers. Nut butters are a perfect example, as they’re used in a wide range of foods across stores, and many retailers now require traceability for all products on their shelves. ReposiTrak ensures seamless traceability for everyone, meeting both regulatory and customer requirements” citeturn0search1.
Hardware-Free, Scalable Solution
One of the key advantages of the ReposiTrak Traceability Network® is its hardware-free and software-free approach. Suppliers can connect to an unlimited number of trading partners and share data for a low, flat fee, without the need for additional infrastructure. The ReposiTrak team assists in establishing the necessary connections under the new regulation, simplifying the process for suppliers of all sizes.
