FDA Food Facility Registration
FDA food facility registration is a mandatory requirement for all food facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the United States. The FDA requires food facility registration to identify the locations of all food facilities operating within the U.S. and in foreign countries to facilitate inspections of these facilities to ensure food safety.
To register a food facility with the FDA, the facility owner or operator must provide basic information about the facility, such as its name and address, the types of food it produces, and the names and contact information of the facility’s owner and operator.

FDA Food Facility Registration Renewal
The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) requires registered food facilities to renew their registration every even-numbered year as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the FDA has current and accurate information on all food facilities registered with the FDA so that the FDA can effectively monitor and regulate the safety of the food supply.
By renewing the food facility registration every other year (every even-numbered year), food facilities are required to review and update their information with the FDA, including their contact information, the types of food they produce or handle, and any changes in ownership or location. This helps the FDA to maintain an up-to-date and comprehensive database of all registered food facilities, which enables them to quickly identify and respond to any food safety issues that may arise.
