Renewal of FDA Food Facility Registration Begins Oct. 1

RENEWAL OF FDA FOOD FACILITY REGISTRATION BEGINS OCT 1

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin accepting food facility registration renewals from October 1 through December 31, 2022. All food facilities must submit renewals before the registration window closes. Failure to renew food facility registrations will result in the products being denied entry into the U.S.

RENEWAL OVERVIEW

1. The U.S. FDA Food Facility Registration must be renewed from October 1 to December 31. Instructions and the portal are here.
2. A DUNS number associated with the physical location of the food facility must be provided. Without a valid DUNS number, the imported food shipment will not be allowed to enter the U.S. The DUNS number can be obtained here.
3. The name and contact information on the FDA food facility registration must exactly match the DUNS number contact information. If not, the registration will be rejected.

DUNS NUMBER REQUIREMENT

Every registrant must have a Data Universal Numbering System D-U-N-S (DUNS) number associated with the physical location of the food facility being renewed. Note that the name and contact information on the FDA food facility registration must exactly match the DUNS number contact information. If not, the registration may be canceled. For example, if the FDA registration identifies “ABC Manufacturing” at “123 Main Street,” while the DUNS number info is listed as “ABC Manufacturing LLC” at 123 Main St.,” the registration will be denied. The two must be an exact match in every way.
