The National Grocers Association (NGA) has entered into a multiyear agreement with ReposiTrak to be NGA's traceability and supplier compliance partner, as a step forward in bringing guidance, education and support to the independent wholesale and retail grocery community. As part of this partnership, ReposiTrak will be the exclusive traceability and supplier compliance provider in NGA's partner program. NGA will host online thought leadership content and share it across various platforms, including website, newsletters and email blasts, as well as a webinar series.

Additionally, ReposiTrak will participate in NGA events and offer a special rate for its services to NGA member companies. The FDA has stated that the initial list of 16 categories and thousands of products covered by Section 204 is the starting point to further improve the safety of the food supply chain. It will take time to adopt new technology and change processes to fully implement end-to-end traceability; as members prepare for the switch, NGA will provide resources.
