Modern Traceability for FSMA 204 Compliance
FSMA 204 compliance requires faster, more accurate traceability across your food supply chain. With expanded recordkeeping and traceability mandates now in effect, food companies must be able to track key data elements (KDEs) and critical tracking events (CTEs) in hours—not days.
Our FSMA 204 compliance solutions help you capture, manage, and share traceability data automatically, giving you real-time visibility, audit-ready records, and the confidence to meet regulatory requirements without slowing operations.

The RFID revolution is here. And CYBRA is at the forefront, ready to make the technology easier and more accessible than ever before.
Our Core FSMA Compliance Tools
MarkMagic
MarkMagic supports FSMA 204 compliance by automating the creation of accurate, GS1-compliant labels and traceability data across your food supply chain. By generating lot codes, barcodes, and required identifiers directly from ERP or WMS systems, it ensures key data elements are captured consistently at every critical tracking event.
The result is faster traceability, fewer errors, and audit-ready records—without slowing production or fulfillment.
Edgefinity IoT
Edgefinity IoT® helps food companies meet FSMA 204 requirements by automatically capturing traceability data across the supply chain. Using RFID, barcode, and IoT technology, it records KDEs and CTEs as products move through receiving, processing, storage, and shipping—without manual entry.
As cases, pallets, and lots pass through dock doors and production areas, Edgefinity IoT creates a real-time, digital chain of custody. The result is faster tracebacks, audit-ready records, and the confidence to respond to recalls in hours instead of days—all while keeping operations efficient and compliant.
EdgeMicro
EdgeMicro® gives food companies a simple, portable way to support FSMA 204 compliance without deploying a full-scale system. It uses RFID to capture traceability data as products, cases, or lots move through key points in your operation—such as receiving, staging, or shipping.
Designed for pilot programs and smaller environments, EdgeMicro helps teams validate KDE and CTE capture, improve lot-level visibility, and generate digital traceability records with minimal cost and setup. It’s an ideal starting point for companies looking to test and scale FSMA-compliant tracking quickly and confidently.

Take Your Supply Chain to the Next Level
Audit-Ready Digital Records →
Every scan, label, and movement is time-stamped and stored. When regulators request documentation, companies can instantly produce accurate, verifiable records without scrambling or disrupting operations.
Compliant Labeling →
With MarkMagic, companies generate FSMA-ready labels on demand, including lot codes, harvest dates, locations, and product identifiers—ensuring every case and pallet carries compliant, standardized traceability data.
Lot and Batch Traceability →
RFID, barcodes, and system integrations allow teams to track lots and batches across facilities and partners in real time, making it easy to trace products forward or backward within minutes.
Recall Readiness →
CYBRA creates a complete digital history for each product movement. When a recall or traceability request occurs, teams can quickly isolate affected lots and respond within FSMA-required timelines.
Automated Data Capture →
CYBRA automatically captures required FSMA 204 KDEs and CTEs as products are received, transformed, packed, and shipped—eliminating manual logs and spreadsheets.
System-to-System Data Integrity →
CYBRA integrates with ERP, WMS, and supply chain systems so traceability data flows automatically—reducing human error, duplicate entry, and inconsistencies that can lead to compliance gaps.

What is FSMA 204 and who does it apply to?
FSMA 204 is a Food Safety Modernization Act rule that requires enhanced traceability for certain foods on the FDA’s Food Traceability List (FTL). It applies to growers, processors, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that handle covered foods and requires faster access to traceability records during recalls or investigations.
How quickly must traceability records be provided to the FDA?
Under FSMA 204, companies must be able to provide required traceability records to the FDA within 24 hours of a request—or within an agreed-upon shorter timeframe. This makes manual, paper-based processes risky and difficult to maintain.
Do companies need RFID to comply with FSMA 204?
RFID is not explicitly required by FSMA 204, but it is one of the most effective ways to automate traceability, capture KDEs accurately, and maintain real-time visibility across the supply chain. Many companies use RFID, barcodes, or a hybrid approach to meet compliance requirements efficiently.
What foods are covered under FSMA 204?
FSMA 204 applies to foods listed on the FDA’s Food Traceability List (FTL), which includes items such as fresh produce, leafy greens, nut butters, seafood, cheeses, and certain ready-to-eat foods. Only products on this list are subject to the enhanced traceability requirements.
What happens if a company is not compliant with FSMA 204?
Non-compliance can lead to FDA enforcement actions, including product holds, recalls, warning letters, or supply chain disruptions. Companies that cannot produce traceability records quickly risk delayed shipments, lost customers, and reputational damage.
