Exploratory
Regulatory change radar
Foodscape's regulatory radar tracks TFDA and related food regulation notices and turns them into change summaries, effective dates and affected category lists so teams can adjust before deadlines. Currently offered as exploratory partnerships.
Who it is for
Food industry legal and QA teams, importers, retail compliance and regulatory consultants.
Why it matters
Notices are scattered and technical; the step from "a change exists" to "which of our SKUs are affected" is still manual.
How it works
- Monitor sources
Follow authority notices and related regulatory updates.
- Summarize and classify
Summarize the change, effective date and scope.
- Map affected categories
Map against client categories and SKUs to flag likely adjustments.
- Periodic notification
Deliver change summaries and impact lists on a fixed cadence.
Deliverables
- Change summaries (content, effective date, basis)
- Affected category and SKU lists
- Suggested actions and deadline reminders
Exploratory partnership: summaries do not replace the official text or legal advice; authority notices prevail.
Procurement FAQ
Can the cadence be adjusted?
Yes, based on how often your categories change and your internal process.
How is this different from a regulatory consultant?
Foodscape handles monitoring, summaries and impact mapping; legal judgment and external communication stay with consultants or legal teams.
FAQ
What kinds of regulatory changes matter?
Commonly label formats, ingredient and additive rules, test methods, import inspection requirements, and effective-date changes.
What if we notice after the effective date?
Recall, relabeling or resubmission may be required at higher cost; early awareness reduces that risk.
