U.S. FDA Food Facility Registration

Facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or store food, beverages, or dietary supplements that may be consumed in the United States must register with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Facilities located outside of the United States must also designate a U.S. Agent for FDA communications.

Our Services Include:

FDA Registration and Renewal

FDA-registered food facilities are required to register with FDA and renew their registration every other year on even-numbered years.

DUNS Assistance

All drug establishments and food facilities are now required to submit Unique Facility Identifiers (UFIs) as part of their initial FDA registration as well as their registration renewal. Currently, the only UFI recognized by FDA is the DUNS number.

NEW IN 2022: All registered food facilities must include their DUNS number in their registration renewal for the October-December 2022 renewal period.

U.S. Agent

All registered food facilities located outside of the U.S. must designate a U.S. Agent, a representative located in the U.S. who is available 24 hours a day to answer FDA’s questions about your company’s shipments and assist in organizing food facility inspections.

Prior Notice

FDA requires the filing of Prior Notice for all food, beverage, and dietary supplements shipments entering the United States. Prior Notice submissions must contain certain pieces of information, including a valid FDA registration number.

Mock FDA Inspection

FDA may choose to conduct a routine inspection of any registered food facility based on a number of factors. Registrar Corp can dispatch a Food Safety Specialist to help your facility prepare for an FDA inspection. We offer these to our existing clients at a reduced rate.
