Nov. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- In the current TraceGains’ newsletter, Industry Insider, Charles Breen was interviewed. Breen, Senior Consultant, CMBreen LLC discussed important issues with TraceGains. Many aspects of Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) are currently in effect, including biannual registration, administrative detention, and mandatory recall. The preventive control rules for human and animal feed are scheduled to be published in mid-August 2015, and become effective 60 days later. Enforcement by FDA will begin one year after the rule issues. Breen explained how the FDA Expects food manufacturers to comply with FSMA.

The October 24^th newsletter also explored how leading companies have come to realize that supply chain management is vital to success in the global market. Organizations now put logistics operations on the agenda for management discussion—including in the C-suite. CEOs recognize that their supply chains are strategic assets, both for delivering on the customer promise and for fueling growth. Overall, they give their supply chains reasonably high marks for client satisfaction and operational efficiency, according to a recent study by IBM's Institute for Business Value.
