WASHINGTON, D.C. - As part of the Food Safety Modernization Act, facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food within the U.S. or foreign food facilities that export to the U.S. must re-register during even numbered years, as per FDA requirements.
Those facilities must re-register between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012.
The initial requirement to register facilities began in 2003 as part of the Bioterrorism Act. In an effort to ensure that information is current, an update to the facility registration requirements has been established as part of the FSMA. Facilities are now required to re-register biannually between the beginning of October and end of December.
More information can be found and registration can be performed online at the FDA's website.
