Should these manufacturers encounter a recall, 80% of small to mid-sized businesses fail within 3 years due to sales loss, and damage to reputation and brand value.

The FSMA requires strict traceability systems in both the EU and US, now requiring 24 hour traceability instead of what could take up to 48 days in the past. These requirements make manual track and trace systems very difficult to comply, and could even be a matter of life or death as over 128,000 people are hospitalized each year in US, and approximately 3,000 die from food-born illness.
