The USA requires that foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or store food for humans or animals in the USA must be registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
On September 27, the FDA sent out a reminder that the registration and renewal period is open between October 1 and December 31, 2024.
The FDA will consider the registration of the business to have expired if the registration is not renewed by December 31, 2024. There is no fee associated with registration or renewal. Property owners, operators, or agents responsible for food facilities must submit the renewal information electronically through their FDA Industry Systems (FIS).
More information about the registration requirement can be found here.
