FDA Extends Food Facility Registration Deadline

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the deadline for biannual registration for food facilities until Jan. 31, 2013. 

FDA released this notice yesterday:

FDA issued a guidance document stating that because there was a delay in FDA’s implementation of biennial registration renewal for the 2012 cycle, and registration renewal did not become available until October 22, 2012, FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to registration renewals submitted to FDA after December 31, 2012 for a period of 31 days, until January 31, 2013.
