    About Foods & Food Products:

    Who must register?

    The FDA has defined a facility as “any establishment, structure, or structures under one management at one general physical location, or in the case of a mobile facility, traveling to multiple locations that manufactures/processes, packs or holds food intended for human or animal consumption in the United States.”

    If you are such a facility, you must register with FDA by December 12, 2003, unless you qualify for an exemption. This may mean that within your company, you may have only one foreign food facility or multiple foreign food facilities. If your company manages multiple geographically dispersed facilities, then you must register each facility. If there are multiple management teams that manage operations within one building, each of the management teams will need to be registered as an independent facility. If you are unsure, please contact us to clarify how many facilities to register.



    Food
      is defined broadly to include all foods regulated by FDA, including raw agricultural commodities, pet food, alcoholic beverages, food ingredients, dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, and substances that migrate to food from immediate food packaging and other articles that contact food.

    Do foreign facilities have to register?

    Since December 12, 2003, ALL food facilities (both domestic and foreign) MUST be registered with the FDA unless exempt. A foreign facility is any facility not located in one of the 50 States of the United States, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, or a U.S. Territory.

    top
    Do foreign facilities must have a U.S. Agent?

    If you are a foreign facility that is required to register with FDA, you MUST designate a U.S. Agent. A U.S. Agent is defined as “a person residing or maintaining a place of business in the United States whom a foreign facility designates as its agent.” The purpose of the U.S. Agent is to serve as a communications link between you and FDA.

    Is my facility exempt from registration?

    • Farm
    • Restaurant
    • Retail facility (e.g., grocery stores) that sell food directly to consumers only
    • Meat or poultry slaughter or packing plant
    • A foreign facility where the food from your facility undergoes further manufacturing or processing by another foreign facility before the food is shipped to the United States
