Comment from Main Street Foundation Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement

Summary: The Main Street Foundation's Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement (CRAE) supports the FDA's efforts to improve food traceability but argues for a risk-based, proportional approach that accounts for the differences between industrial and localized food systems. They emphasize the need to protect smaller producers from disproportionate compliance costs and advocate for clear, expanded exemptions to maintain food affordability and regional diversity.
