FSMA Rule 204 traceability
The US Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204 Food Traceability Rule extends Critical Tracking Events and Key Data Elements to high-risk foods. Compliance requires structured, queryable records far beyond a paper trail.

Traceability that holds up when a recall hits.
Produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and high-care prepared foods move through chains where shelf life is currency and a single recall can wipe out a season. Journey Protector delivers the granular, time-stamped data that FSMA Rule 204 and equivalent frameworks now require.
The Problem
Where today's chain of custody breaks down
Shelf life lost to cold chain breaks
Temperature excursions short of failure still consume shelf life. By the time produce reaches retail, an undocumented warm patch in the chain has already cost days of selling time.
Recall scope determination
When contamination is detected, the question is always which lots, which dates, which trailers. Without lot-level chain of custody, recalls expand to protect public health and inflate the cost.
Multi-step cold chain accountability
Field, packhouse, transport, distribution centre, retailer. Without instrumented handoffs, accountability for excursions is impossible to assign.
The Platform
Lot-level traceability and continuous environmental evidence.
Temperature, humidity, and atmosphere monitoring
Continuous environmental sensing inside the trailer or container. Rate-of-change detection flags compressor failures before product is at risk.
CTE / KDE-aligned event capture
Critical Tracking Events with Key Data Elements captured automatically: shipping, receiving, transformation, and movement events with their associated locations, times, and lot identifiers.
Lot-level evidence for rapid recall scoping
Granular trace data lets safety teams scope recalls accurately. The product that needs to come back comes back. The rest stays selling.
Shelf life forecasting
AI risk engine models remaining shelf life based on cumulative temperature exposure. Distributors can route product based on real condition, not assumed condition.
Compliance
Built around the frameworks that matter
Every framework below is a real standard or regulation. Journey Protector's evidence chain is designed to feed each one with the data it actually requires, not just the data that's easy to collect.

In Practice
Where this gets deployed
Reefer container ocean transit
Continuous monitoring across multi-week ocean journeys. Atmosphere, temperature, and humidity recorded with signed timestamps.
Fresh produce field-to-retail
Pre-cooling validation, transit monitoring, and DC arrival evidence under one chain of custody.
Seafood traceability
Catch-to-counter records aligned with FSMA Rule 204 requirements for high-risk foods.
Dairy and high-care prepared foods
Tight temperature corridors monitored with the precision GxP-style facilities require.
