Cause of death: the autopsy

Congress moved FDA enforcement of the food traceability rule (FSMA 204) to 2028-07-20, removing urgency for about two years. The field was already crowded (TrueCommerce, trackvision, FleetRabbit, inecta, QTRACA, Sustalium, Canary, ReposiTrak) and the FDA publishes the template itself.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
