What it does
The Tobacco TRACE Act would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement a system of unique codes on tobacco product labels by June 1, 2026, enabling tracking and tracing of tobacco products through the distribution system. This requirement applies to all tobacco products regulated under the Act and aims to improve compliance and enforcement by enhancing supply chain transparency. The bill affects tobacco manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, who would need to comply with the new labeling requirements. It replaces permissive language (“may”) with a mandatory directive (“shall”) to ensure implementation.
