Registrar Corp Celebrates 20 Years In Regulatory Compliance

Registrar Corp has come a long way in 20 years. From our humble beginnings in Hampton, Virginia with a handful of regulatory compliance specialists to a global operation with 30,000 clients proudly served each year, we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate this occasion.

We know we couldn’t have achieved this without the strong culture and teams that have been nurtured over the years, and we thank all those who have helped make Registrar Corp the leading FDA resource that it is.

Having taken this opportunity to reflect on the last two decades, we were able to speak to many of our Hampton, Virginia members, some having served with us from day one — many others over a decade.

Why the Focus on Regulatory Compliance With FDA?

When the events of 9/11 transpired, they shook the foundation of our country in several ways. The big one for us is that it led Congress to pass the Bioterrorism Act which, for the first-time, required food manufacturers to register with FDA.

Coming from a food and beverage and tech industry background, the founders of Registrar Corp knew that nothing with Food and Drug Administration would be the same — or simple.

“We knew how difficult it could be working with FDA, and these new changes meant more complicated regulations. We wanted to help companies with the new requirements and achieve regulatory compliance.” —David Lennarz, Co-Founder

Registrar Corp Has Expanded Its Focus Over Twenty-Years

In the early days, the Registrar Corp team was of course much smaller starting with three of us in Hampton, Virginia. Over the years we have always continued to encourage our colleagues to think like entrepreneurs and foster a culture of creative thought and leadership.

Now, boasting just under 350 team members across 19 countries, rarely does a week go by that Registrar Corp doesn’t have a new idea around how we can better help the industries we serve.

The initial focus was on the Bioterrorism Act, magnified by the groundbreaking passage of FSMA in 2011, and has since grown to cover a wide range of FDA related regulatory compliance.

“We cover all FDA-regulated sectors from food and beverage, cosmetics, medical devices, and even the pharmaceutical sector, providing over 100 different tech-enabled services.” —Jack Harden, 3 years as Vice President of Global Sales

Tech has also become a central focus for the company, recognizing and responding to FDA’s regulatory initiatives and quickly developing tech enabled services—like Automated Compliance—to help make FDA compliance quick and easy for our clients.

Jack added, “With each new offering, we give global industry yet another tool to help them export successfully to the United States, monitor their suppliers, gain key insights into their supply chain, and bolster their food safety systems and meet FDA regulatory compliance.”

Developing a Culture of Impact & Diversity

When we asked our Registrar Corp family what they loved most about us, the answer was unanimously, “the people and the culture.”

Having grown locally in Hampton, Virginia for many years, the company has been able to create strong bonds within the community, create employment opportunities, and foster leadership throughout.

“It’s a tight knit group of people who love to help one-another—I love learning from my colleagues and meeting challenges together. Management is always supportive, and they drive a culture of doing our best to make a meaningful impact in all we do.” —Helen Anders, 20 years as Director of Accounting.

Registrar Corp had reached about 140 employees when the first whispers of Covid-19 began to stir. When the lockdowns happened we embraced a more fluid remote-work mentality and quickly grew our team.

We became more diverse, enriching our already strong culture with creative and driven people with varied perspectives to help push our mission to make regulatory compliance quick and easy with our software, regulatory expertise, and training.

“The culture has always been one that encouraged people to draw upon their own unique talents to contribute to the growth and development of the company. And, even though we’ve gotten larger, Registrar Corp still has a “small business” feel to it, where doors are always open and people and their ideas are both heard and respected.” —Anna Benevente, 14 years as Director of Product, Labeling, and Ingredient Review.

The Future of Registrar Corp

Regulatory Compliance with the FDA will always be the needle on the compass that leads us. Whether that’s locally here in Hampton, Virginia, or globally as we continue to expand into more countries on our journey to help exporters get their products on the U.S. market.

“The outlook for our company is just great. We have strong leadership, a clear vision and direction, and we have the right people at every level of the company impacting positive change.” —Jason Li, 12 years as Director of Information Technology.

We’re not sure what changes will come to Regulatory Compliance in the next 20 years, but our mission will always remain the same:

“Our mission from day one was to help companies comply with FDA requirements. We wanted this to happen quickly, and with as little effort as possible from our customers. Things like simple forms, fixed fees, and excellent client service were paramount from the beginning. And they remain so today.” —David Lennarz, Co-Founder.

Ask the Expert: The Risk of Waiting to Prepare for MoCRA

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) is transforming the cosmetics industry. Signed into law in December 2022, the MoCRA act increases the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) regulatory authority over cosmetics and establishes regulations that will ripple throughout the cosmetic supply chain.

MoCRA’s new requirements will have a global impact on the cosmetics industry, as regulations apply to all cosmetics marketed in the U.S., including those being imported from other countries.

We asked Jaclyn Bellomo, Registrar Corp’s Director of Cosmetic Services and Software, to walk us through MoCRA’s implications and challenges and share her thoughts on why it’s critical for cosmetic companies to prepare for requirements now.

What is MoCRA and why was it created?

“MoCRA is the largest reform in FDA cosmetic regulations in history, covering everything from facility registrations and product listings to safety substantiation, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), records access, and adverse event reporting,” Bellomo said.

“It encompasses many of the cosmetics regulations the U.S. has been lacking that other countries have adopted and intends to align U.S. regulations with global regulatory compliances and restrictions. It also aims to bring safety and transparency to the beauty and personal care industry.”

Does MoCRA prohibit ingredients?

“Currently, FDA is only assessing the ingredients that have the most media and state attention because of already existing claims and issues present in products on the shelves.”

For instance, MoCRA includes regulations surrounding talc in response to litigations that claim usage of talc-containing products was related to asbestos exposure and health issues. But the legislation only indicates specific testing must be done in compliance with forthcoming talc regulations.

Similarly, MoCRA requires a toxicological risk assessment for cosmetics that include PFAS chemicals.

“But at the moment, it’s hard to say whether ingredient-specific regulations will lead to prohibition of ingredients,” Bellomo clarified.

Bellomo noted that the challenge is posed by individual state regulations, which are being initiated more frequently. “Some states took regulations into their own hands by prohibiting ingredients and restricting use of ingredients, even down to trace levels residuals. Governments in states such as California, Washington, Colorado, Vermont, and New York have implemented regulations for cosmetics and personal care beauty products marketed in their states. It can become very burdensome on the industry to have so many different regulations to follow per state, so FDA’s decision to have safety substantiation under MoCRA could help companies get information on ingredients which they did not have in the past, alleviating some of the work that will be needed at state level.”

What are MoCRA’s main objectives?

“Some of MoCRA’s main objectives are to know where cosmetics are being made, what cosmetics are being made, and who’s responsible for those cosmetics,” Bellomo explained. “That is at the forefront of what FDA is trying to accomplish. When that information is available, it’s easier to enforce regulations because there’s transparency about where the products are coming from. Enforcement cannot happen without the clarity of who, what, and where.”

What companies will be affected by MoCRA?

“Any company that touches a cosmetic product distributed or marketed in the U.S. needs to be aware of the MoCRA Act,” Bellomo said. “There are different implications for different entities. Facilities are going to be responsible for facility registrations, GMPs, record access and inspections. Responsible persons will be responsible for product listing, adverse events, labeling, fragrance allergen disclosures, and fragrance allergen records.”

Bellomo explained that, while the legislation focuses heavily on facilities and responsible persons, the cosmetic industry is much broader than these two groups. “Raw material suppliers will be significantly impacted because of fragrance allergens disclosures and safety substantiation regulations. MoCRA’s safety requirements don’t stop at the formula level. Safety extends to the raw material level, so companies will need to acquire certain data about their raw materials. If they don’t have that data, they’ll need to get it.”

Bellomo added that, if a product has been misbranded or adulterated, brokers, importers, and retailers will be affected by mandatory recalls.

What are some potential challenges for companies that need to comply with MoCRA?

“Smaller, less technical companies that have limited staff for regulatory purposes and have not had any experience with FDA compliance will face a big challenge,” Bellomo said. “They may struggle to either add staff or to understand the regulations, and most likely will need to contract with third parties that can bridge that knowledge gap.”

One regulation that may prove particularly challenging is the adequate safety substantiation requirement, which requires companies to provide evidence or information sufficient to support a reasonable certainty that a cosmetic product is safe.

“The definition is slightly vague at this time,” Bellomo explained. “Understanding which tests and studies are sufficient and how these will be approved could be a gray area, so people might rush out to get as many tests as possible, which could be burdensome.”

What do you think that companies should be doing right now to prepare?

“Know what your products are and where they’re being manufactured. If you own a manufacturing facility it’s going to be simpler to assess which products are active on the shelves, and you know where they’re being made. But if you’re a responsible person that contracts your products elsewhere, you’ll need to contact all your contract manufacturers and start to understand how they’re going to handle their registration.”

Bellomo emphasized the need for companies to act quickly to develop a strategy for how they will tackle MoCRA’s requirements. “Gather information you might need for your product listings and come up with a game plan on how your company will internally take on MoCRA,” she said.

She also suggests non-U.S. companies obtain a U.S. Agent as soon as possible. FDA requires facilities outside the U.S. to designate a domestic U.S. Agent for FDA communication. Companies intending to ship cosmetics to the U.S. for distribution must include their U.S. Agent’s information in their FDA registration.

Bellomo stressed the importance of understanding what still needs to be done to comply with the MoCRA Act. “Do a gap assessment to see what you’re missing. You might find that you don’t know what product categories your cosmetics fall under, which you need to know to submit product listings. Or you may not know which facility you’re processing certain products at.”

With MoCRA’s registration and product listing requirements set to take effect by the end of 2023, it is critical that companies avoid waiting any longer to prepare.

“We’re already halfway into the first year of MoCRA’s enactment. If there isn’t enough staff to implement registration and listing requirements, you’ll need to consider hiring outside sources to help, “Bellomo explained.

“There will likely be a flood of companies clamoring to get third-party assistance with registration and listings toward the end of the year, and there may not be spots open with third-party companies by then. If there are more customers than these companies have the capacity to handle, they may need to start turning people away. It’s critical to hire assistance now.”

4 Reasons Why You Need Supply Chain Diversification

Supply chain diversification is a powerful strategy for any importer. Whether you want to navigate a vendor’s increasing costs, avoid disruptions, or change suppliers when one goes out of compliance, the ability to pivot with your suppliers is a game changer.

Diversifying your supply chain isn’t about making vendors compete with each other for the best price. It’s about preparing your supply chain to be as flexible as possible in the face of various and significant pressures in the global marketplace.

Not only does supplier diversification safeguard your bottom line, but also having a network of exporters at your fingertips always makes for smooth sailing on international trade waters.

What Is Supply Chain Diversification?

Not to be confused with supplier diversity — an effective social business strategy that boosts inclusivity in vendor sourcing — supply chain diversification speaks to the development of flexibility among your vendors in order to optimize risk management and agility. It’s about increasing your options and assuring your product always reaches the market regardless of potential disruptions.

Diversification as the Cure for Supply Chain Disruptions

When importers begin diversifying their supply chain, they become better equiped to navigate critical disruptions that can cripple their revenue compared to less flexible importers that lean only on one or two international exporters.

Simply put, when importers neglect diversification, they set themselves up for failure when global supply chain issues strike.

When you pursue diversification, you build supply chain resilience. Your business goes from having a single vendor to multiple suppliers you can rotate as needed.

Here’s four examples of how supply chain diversification can benefit your business:

1. Pivot Out of Compliance Suppliers

The last thing an importer wants is to have product sitting in detention due to lack of supplier compliance.

When you take your supply chain and infuse a bit of flexibility into it, you can easily pivot suppliers when one falls out of compliance. You can readily make the call and place an order with an alternate source at a moment’s notice and assure your supply chain is healthy and mitigate the risk of FDA detentions.

2. Navigate Geopolitical Constraints

Remember the infamous Suez Canal debacle? What about the Sino-American Trade War during the Trump Administration? If those incidents taught us anything, it’s when your supply chain is tied up in only one or two suppliers then you stand to lose a lot of revenue — or worse, your whole business.

When you introduce diversification into your supply chain management, you can sidestep global gridlocks and political tariffs on your trade deals.

3. Avoid Rising Supplier Costs

On the subject of gridlocks and tariffs, these, and other reasons like them, often lead to price increases in the market.

Suppliers raise costs, and the importers who aren’t as flexible are stuck paying higher costs. They have to choose between a lower profit or contribution to the inflation machine.

Supply chain diversification opens up cost options that would have previously been unavailable. It allows your business to evaluate supply costs, shipment times, and adjust quickly and efficiently.

4. Stay Ahead of Competitors

Diversifying your supply chain also has the added benefit of beating out competitors that have yet to adopt a more flexible approach to sourcing suppliers. Whereas they might be stuck paying higher costs on a shipment that’s also locked in detention, you’re able to source lower costs and keep product flowing uninterrupted.

Supply Chain Diversification Risks

Managing a few suppliers is one thing, trying to self-manage a wider supply network of alternate suppliers for each product is another.

It’s true that the more choices you have, the less vulnerable your business is to disruptions.

However, diversification can also increase your risk unless it’s effectively managed as the more suppliers you have adds greater opportunities for something to go awry.

So, how do you mitigate the risk that diversification imposes?

One simple and effective way is to utilize technology that offers in depth and on demand insights on potential suppliers before you even onboard them. When you can look at a supplier’s history at a glance, you can source the best suppliers for your diversification strategy.

Leveraging Technology For Supply Chain Diversification

Registrar Corp’s Automated Compliance software gives importers the on-demand insights they need to build a healthy and diversified supply chain.

By leveraging Automated Compliance’s Buyer Insights functionality and never-before-seen supplier data, importers are empowered to build a resilient and compliant supply chain with ease.

FSMA 204: How to Easily Maintain Supply Chain Traceability

With the Food Safety Modernization Act’s section 204 (FSMA 204), FDA intends to strengthen overall supply chain traceability within the food and beverage industry by mandating the tracking of certain food products.

Companies who have focused solely on their single link in the supply chain are now exposing their business to exceptional risks. It’s no longer simply about limited visibility into your supply chain and how you could hinder product quality, general safety, and erode consumer trust. Now the risk involves noncompliance with FDA and having greater risk of detentions, recalls, and shutdowns.

However, with end-to-end visibility, supply chain traceability enables your product to be traced throughout the entire supply chain, ensuring compliance, quality, and reducing the risk of product defects and recalls.

FSMA 204 Food Traceability Requirements

If your company harvests, cools, manufactures, processes, packs, ships, or receives any of the foods outlined on the Food Traceability List, your business is now required to keep additional records on these items.

These additional records are defined by FDA’s FSMA 204 as a set of metrics called Key Data Elements (KDEs), the most important being the new Traceability Lot Code (TLC) as it links a food product to each event in the supply chain. KDEs are gathered at specific Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) and depending on the complexity of your business, you may need to capture multiple sets of these KDEs.

For instance, if you are a food processor, you might align as a receiver, a processor, and as a shipper since you would take product from a supplier and blend, repackage, relabel, or even transform the product before shipping the product to your customers.

In addition to reporting these KDEs, FDA has also outlined these requirements:

Businesses must create and maintain a traceability plan that includes the procedures for maintaining traceability records and how you identify foods on the Food Traceability List, how you assign lot codes, and a point of contact
Businesses must also maintain records in paper, electronic, or true copies
Provide traceability records to FDA within 24 hours after a request is made
Provide a sortable spreadsheet with relevant traceability information to FDA within 24 hours of a request to assist during an outbreak, recall, or other public health threat

Gain deeper insights into the health of your entire supply chain with Buyer Insights.

What’s Included in the Food Traceability List (FTL)?

According to FDA, the Food Traceability List (FTL) identifies the foods that require additional traceability records. These additional requirements apply only to the foods listed on the FTL and — as long as the listed food is used as an ingredient that remains in the same form as it appears on the list — to the various foods that contain the listed items as ingredients.

The FTL includes foods such as:

Soft Cheeses
Shell Eggs
Nut Butters
Fresh Herbs & Peppers
Fresh Whole & Fresh-Cut Leafy Greens
Fresh Cucumbers, Melons, & Tomatoes
Fresh Tropical Tree Fruits & other Fresh Cut Fruits
Fresh & Frozen Finfish, Crustaceans, and Molluscs

Advantages of Tech-Enabled Supply Chain Traceability

Imagine there’s an incident at a restaurant where the finished fish you supply has made several patrons sick. Tech enabled supply chain traceability systems make it possible to detect where contamination has taken place.

By leveraging tech-enabled solutions, you can identify if the problem lies with the shipment of fish, if there was a failure in its conservation, or if it was a problem of contaminated animal feed at the source.

Having this data readily available at a click of a button allows you to both quickly access situations and to remain compliant with FDA. You can even make informed decisions about how to proceed and even find replacement shippers and suppliers.

Lack of Supply Chain Traceability Puts Your Business at Risk

The last thing any business wants is to find out their suppliers aren’t in compliance when it matters most — during an outbreak investigation.

By assuring deeper insight across all of your suppliers with a tool like Automated Compliance, you gain visibility into your entire supply chain. This not only safeguards you from various food safety risks, but it also helps you make better sourcing decisions, improving your supplier diversity.

Discover how Automated Compliance protects your brand and limits your recall exposure by embracing end-to-end traceability throughout your entire supply chain.
