FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition recently issued a constituent update reminding food facilities to renew their facility registrations during the period October 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014. In 2011, the FSMA amended the food facility registration requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FD&C Act") to provide for a biennial renewal process. Registration generally applies to domestic and foreign food facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States. For additional information, FDA has a Q&A guidance on the registration requirements.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
