# FSMA204Hub

> FSMA 204 lot-traceability software for small food producers. Log supplier lots with Key Data Elements, link them into production batches, and generate a retailer-ready compliance trace in one click. $49/month, built by Darza Technologies.

FSMA204Hub is a SaaS product for artisan creameries, co-packers, small meat and seafood processors, and bakeries operating at roughly $1M-$10M in revenue who sell into grocery retailers (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Wegmans, Erewhon, Fresh Market, independent grocers). The product's differentiator is a live compliance score that updates in real time as lots are logged: a single number between 0 and 100 representing the percent of recent production batches that are fully traceable under the US FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204 (FSMA 204, codified at 21 CFR §1.1300-1.1460).

## Core vocabulary

- **Traceability Lot Code (TLC)**: A unique identifier assigned to a lot of food product. Required by FSMA 204 for foods on the Food Traceability List.
- **Key Data Elements (KDEs)**: The required data points associated with each traceability event. Includes supplier name, supplier lot code, ship date, ship-from location, lot quantity, unit of measure, and date of the event.
- **Critical Tracking Events (CTEs)**: Points at which lots change hands, typically receiving, transformation, creation, and shipping.
- **FSMA 204**: Section 204 of the US Food Safety Modernization Act, requiring food producers on the Food Traceability List to maintain traceability records.
