Registration
and U.S. Agent
FDA registration is required for all facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or store food, beverages, or dietary supplements that may be consumed in the United States by humans or animals. Companies located outside the United States must designate a U.S. Agent for FDA communications.
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) changed FDA food safety regulations. Registrar Corp provides assistance to the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries to achieve FDA compliance by developing Food Safety Plans, HACCP Plans, Food Defense Plans, FSVPs for importers, and more. We can also help you prepare for an FDA inspection.
