Movista Releases FSMA 204 Report: What Grocery Teams Need to Know Ahead of 2026 Traceability Changes

Movista, a leading provider of retail execution solutions, has
released a whitepaper today to help merchandising teams prepare for
Section 204(d) of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration Food
Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The new compliance measures,
designed to better track and trace food products through the supply
chain, will be enforced beginning in January 2026.
After FSMA became law in 2011 with bipartisan support, the FDA
began developing this food traceability rule. It requires
manufacturers of certain foods to improve their access to relevant
data and their ability act quickly in recalls and outbreaks.
“We’re hopeful that retail leaders struggling with how to
prepare for the 2026 deadline can walk away from this report with
more confidence,” said Movista President and COO, Jason
McGinnis.
In addition to the dire impact food recall events can have on
public health, the report demonstrates the cost of inefficient
recalls for the retail industry. The current traceability supply
chain is examined and compared with the new steps that Section 204
requires.
“The goal of the whitepaper isn’t just mere compliance. The
mandates matter, of course. But we believe these changes are
opportunities for frontline teams to get even better at what they
do – selling fresh, healthy food to hungry shoppers,” said Stan
Zylowski, co-founder and CEO of Movista. “It can be a win-win.”
The retail technology landscape is also surveyed in the report
to help leaders navigate the regulatory changes with tools such as
blockchain, artificial intelligence, and retail execution
software.
“When contaminated food is quickly identified and removed from
shelves, families are safer, and retail is better,” McGinnis
explained. “Movista exists to help with that.”
How can grocery retail teams be ready for FSMA 204? In “Beyond
Compliance: Understanding the Impact of the Food Traceability Final
Rule on Merchandising Teams” Movista shares all you need to know
about the impact of the new FDA mandates – for your in-store

your bottom-line.
