Nulogy adds FSMA 204 track-and-trace module for food companies

Nulogy launched a new Track and Trace module designed to help food distributors, manufacturers, packagers and retailers meet FSMA 204 traceability requirements and produce FDA-requested records within 24 hours. The release comes as many food companies still say they are not ready for the rule’s 2028 compliance deadline.

Why it matters: - FSMA 204 requires food companies to capture and quickly produce lot-level traceability records. - Nulogy’s new module is built to shorten FDA response times from days or weeks to minutes. - The launch targets companies that still need to close traceability gaps before the 2028 deadline.

What happened: - Nulogy launched Track and Trace, a new module within Nulogy Quality & Compliance, on August 18, 2026, in Toronto. - The module is aimed at food distributors, manufacturers, packagers and retailers. - The product is designed to help companies meet FSMA 204 and answer an FDA request within 24 hours. - Nulogy said the module is part of the Nulogy Operating System.

The details: - Track and Trace records traceability events when goods are received, transformed and shipped. - The module can capture data directly in Nulogy or pull it from existing enterprise systems. - It creates Critical Tracking Event records required under the rule. - It automatically generates and links Traceability Lot Codes when ingredients are combined or repacked. - The system keeps events in one searchable register. - When the FDA asks for records, the module can trace any lot in both directions and produce the sortable file in minutes. - Nulogy said the module supports capture from ERP, WMS and MES systems through Nulogy Connect. - The module lets companies enter traceability data directly in Nulogy, use connected systems, or use both. - Nulogy said the approach captures each Key Data Element once at the source. - The CTE Register lets users search shipping, receiving and transformation events by lot code, product, supplier or customer. - The 24-Hour Sortable Export produces the FDA electronic sortable spreadsheet for any lot, product, date range or partner in minutes.

Between the lines: - Nulogy is positioning the module as an answer to a common readiness problem across the food supply chain. - In a June 2026 poll of 161 food supply chain companies, two-thirds said they were still assessing FSMA 204 scope or were unsure how they would comply. - Thirty-seven percent said they would extend an existing ERP, WMS or QMS, which Nulogy argues is not purpose-built for FSMA 204 traceability and recall demands. - Kevin Donaghy, Innovation Officer, Quality & Compliance at Nulogy, said the hardest lots to trace are those built from many suppliers and changed along the way. - Donaghy said Nulogy built Track and Trace to produce those records in minutes and to help customers be ready before 2028.

What's next: - Food companies will need to keep building traceability workflows ahead of FSMA 204 enforcement timelines. - Nulogy is directing readers to Nulogy.com for more information on Track and Trace and the Nulogy Operating System. - The company also points to its role as an IFDA Allied Member and a member of the Partnership for Food Traceability.

The bottom line: - Nulogy is betting that FSMA 204 compliance will favor systems that unify traceability data across sites, suppliers and enterprise tools.
