Supply chains are complex. Compliance shouldn't be.
We built Foodtrce because QA teams deserve better than spreadsheets when the FDA calls. Founded in Chicago in 2023, we're on a mission to make lot-level traceability the easiest part of your food safety program.
Every lot. Every link. Every time.
FSMA Rule 204 changed the compliance landscape for every CPG brand, food manufacturer, and distributor in the US. What was once an industry best practice — full lot-code traceability — is now a federal regulatory requirement, enforceable by the FDA.
The problem: most companies know what the rule requires, but don't have systems that make compliance operationally realistic. QA directors are accountable for records across dozens of co-manufacturing partners, ingredient suppliers, and 3PL warehouses — and most of those records still live in spreadsheets and filing cabinets.
We built Foodtrce to change that. One platform that connects every scan event to a lot-level chain, gives QA teams instant trace-back capability, and produces the FDA-format export the moment an audit or recall event demands it.
Simone Dupont, CEO
Simone spent eight years in supply chain quality at a mid-size natural foods brand before co-founding Foodtrce. After living through two FDA audit cycles with nothing but spreadsheets and three filing cabinets, she saw first-hand how preventable the compliance stress was — if the right system existed.
"We were a sophisticated operation in every other dimension — lean manufacturing, JIT sourcing, SPC on the line. But when it came to traceability, we were entirely paper-based. The FSMA 204 rule gave us the forcing function to finally fix it. I wanted to make sure other QA teams had a tool that actually worked for how they operate."
Foodtrce was incorporated in Chicago in 2023. The company is angel-backed and building toward the goal of making lot-level traceability the operational standard for every food business that falls under FSMA 204.
