Fresh departments are notorious for making two opposite—but equally costly—mistakes with data and insights. Some companies don’t invest at all, and lose money by operating without the best information to guide decisions. Others do invest, but allocate dollars inefficiently, fail to extract full value, and end up disappointed with their return. In both cases, the outcome is the same: money is being left on the table.

Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging is no longer a future issue for food businesses. With 2026 reporting deadlines approaching and fee programs already beginning in several states, dairy, deli, bakery, and prepared foods companies need to understand what packaging data to collect, how producer responsibility is determined, and where the biggest compliance risks sit today. CAA currently lists May 31, 2026 as the reporting deadline for annual or simplified supply reports across California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington, making this a timely operational issue for companies across the fresh food value chain. Join Ethan Redden of BSI to better understand what Extended Producer Responsibility means for the dairy, deli, and bakery industries.

FSMA 204 readiness is evolving fast. The FDA’s compliance date shift to July 20, 2028 reflects real-world implementation challenges—especially the need for broad interoperability and supply chain partner coordination—yet FDA has been clear the extension does not change the rule’s requirements.
