FoodReady FSMA 204 Traceability Software

FoodReady is a food safety and quality software company based in Chicago, Illinois. It serves food manufacturers, processors, restaurants and grocery operators that must manage HACCP plans and meet traceability rules such as the US FDA FSMA 204 Food Traceability Rule.

The cloud platform combines food safety management (HACCP, SOPs, CCP logs) with ERP-style inventory functions and a traceability module that traces lots forward and backward from ingredient receipt to finished product shipment. It records the critical tracking events and key data elements required by FSMA 204, supports barcode scanning on mobile devices on the production floor and adds AI-assisted tools. In December 2025 the company said its AI traceability system was live in hundreds of food manufacturing facilities; customers include DOLE, True Essence Foods and Eurobake.

• Lot tracing: Traces lots forward and backward from receiving to finished goods shipment.
• FSMA 204 records: Captures critical tracking events and key data elements required by the FDA rule.
• Mobile barcode scanning: Scans barcodes on mobile devices on the production floor.
• HACCP and SOP management: Manages HACCP plans, SOPs and CCP monitoring logs.
• Inventory functions: Tracks ingredients and finished goods with ERP-style inventory features.
• System integrations: Connects with ERP, warehouse, quality and accounting systems.

Vietnamese seafood processors exporting to the US can keep FSMA 204 records ready for FDA requests. Bakery and snack manufacturers can digitize HACCP and CCP logs. Food service chains can track ingredient lots across central kitchens and outlets.

Forward and backward lot tracing shortens recall response from ingredient receipt to shipment. Built-in FSMA 204 CTE and KDE records reduce manual paperwork when regulators request data. Combining HACCP, quality logs and inventory in one system lowers the number of tools a plant must maintain, and mobile barcode scanning speeds up data capture on the floor.

FSMA 204 sets traceability recordkeeping obligations for foods on the FDA Food Traceability List, affecting foreign suppliers that export to the US. Vietnamese seafood, fruit and processed food exporters to the US need affordable software to keep CTE/KDE records and HACCP documentation consistent.
