Updated Retail Compliance: Labeling, Digital Traceability, and the New Supplier Mandates

Apr 22 2026

16:00 - 16:45

CC 5.1

Retail compliance is no longer just about following regulatory checkboxes or bespoke information requests – it now extends to the digital data that underpins seafood traceability, sourcing claims, and regulatory reporting. Retailers are rolling out updated requirements that go beyond regulation to span case and pallet labeling, standards-aligned electronic data sharing, and interoperability between systems. For suppliers, keeping pace with these changes is becoming a condition of doing business.

This panel will bring together retail leaders and digital experts to unpack what’s changing and how suppliers can prepare. Panelists will share how they are approaching updated compliance expectations and working with suppliers to streamline adoption. Wholechain and GSA will contribute perspectives on enabling suppliers with interoperable digital traceability solutions and integrating certification and supply chain data.
