FDA food facility registration renewal is mandatory every two years. In the 2019 renewal cycle, FDA cancelled 47,635 facility registrations because they failed to renew by the deadline.
What Happens When Registration Expires
If your registration expires, all your shipments will be detained at US ports. Your importer will be notified immediately and may switch to an alternative supplier.
The Role of Your US Agent
An active US Agent sends renewal reminders and responds to FDA communications promptly. Without a reliable US Agent, you may miss critical notices from the FDA.
The Renewal Process
Renewal is done online through the FDA FURLS system. It involves verifying facility information, checking DUNS number accuracy, and updating US Agent details.
