FDA requires facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the United States to register with the agency and renew registrations every other year. Foreign facilities are also required to appoint a U.S. Agent.

Expert FDA Food Facility Registration Support

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates food facilities under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Registration requirements are designed to improve food safety and enable the FDA to quickly identify and locate facilities during inspections, recalls, and public health emergencies.

What is FDA Food Facility Registration?

FDA Food Facility Registration is a mandatory registration process for facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food intended for consumption in the United States. The registration system allows the FDA to maintain updated records of facilities involved in the food supply chain and respond quickly to food safety concerns or emergencies.

Once registration is accepted, FDA assigns an 11-digit Food Facility Registration Number to the facility. The registration number confirms that the facility has been registered with FDA; however, it does not indicate that FDA has approved the facility or its products.

Foreign facilities are also required to appoint a U.S. Agent who serves as the communication link between the facility and FDA for routine and emergency matters.

Who Needs FDA Food Facility Registration?

FDA registration is generally required for facilities involved in:
  • Manufacturing food products
  • Processing food products
  • Packing food products
  • Holding or storing food products intended for U.S. distribution
The requirement applies to both domestic and foreign facilities that participate in the food supply chain. Foreign companies exporting food products to the United States must also appoint a U.S. Agent before registration can be completed.
Certain facilities may be exempt from registration requirements, including farms, restaurants, retail food establishments, nonprofit food establishments, and some facilities that only store packaged foods that are not exposed to the environment.

FDA Food Facility Registration Process

The FDA Food Facility Registration process generally involves the following steps:

Step 1: Determine Registration Requirements

Confirm whether your facility is required to register and identify the activities conducted at the facility.

Step 2: Appoint a U.S. Agent

Foreign facilities must designate a U.S. Agent before proceeding with registration.

Step 3: Gather Required Information

Prepare facility details, owner information, product categories, trade names, and DUNS information.

Step 4: Submit Registration

Submit the registration application through FDA’s electronic registration system.

Step 5: Receive Registration Number

Once accepted, FDA issues an 11-digit Food Facility Registration Number to the registered facility.
Accurate information is essential because FDA uses registration data during inspections, recalls, and food-related emergencies.

Why is FDA Food Facility Registration Important?

FDA Food Facility Registration is more than an administrative requirement. It is an important part of the U.S. food safety system and is necessary for businesses seeking to export food products to the United States.
Registration helps:
  • Support legal access to the U.S. market
  • Enable FDA communication during inspections and emergencies
  • Improve supply chain transparency
  • Reduce the risk of shipment delays and detention
  • Demonstrate commitment to regulatory compliance
Failure to register or renew a required registration may result in shipment holds, compliance issues, or restrictions on food imports into the United States.
