FDA states that food facility registrations not renewed by December 31, 2026 will be considered expired. If you suspect a missed renewal, confirm the registration status and submission history in FDA Industry Systems before relying on the old record.
Resolve the record with FDA
Check whether the issue is a missed renewal, an incomplete submission, a validation problem or lost account access. Follow FDA's current instructions for the status of your record; if account access is lost, request FDA assistance rather than creating a duplicate registration. Keep the facility-specific DUNS/UFI and US Agent information ready.
Coordinate affected shipments
Food from facilities required to register can be detained when registration requirements are not met. Coordinate with the importer and filing parties to evaluate registration, Prior Notice and other applicable obligations. Do not assume a new filing guarantees release of a held shipment. No fixed recovery time or penalty amount is promised.
