The Food and Drug Administration is extending until July 3 the period for submitting comments on the results of its product tracing pilot. The Institute of Food Technologists submitted its report in early March on the pilot, which included companies involved in supply chains for frozen and dry Kung Pao chicken and fresh tomatoes (see 13030418). According to the report, the pilot participants appeared to have in place many of the tools necessary to capture and submit data required for product tracing, although inconsistencies in the data often delayed interpretation by IFT.
