Preparing for the Biennial Food Facility Registration Renewal

Now is the time to prepare for the Biennial Registration Renewal for Food Facilities! The renewal period this year is between October 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. Food facility registration helps the FDA determine the location and source of potential bioterrorism or foodborne illness outbreak incidents, and also helps the agency quickly notify facilities that may be affected.

Owners, operators, or agents in charge of domestic or foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the U.S. are required to register the facility with the FDA. Note that even facilities which are already registered with the FDA are still required to renew their registrations during the October–December registration renewal period.  

Should any facility require assistance with registration, our forwarding and US Customs Brokerage partner, Albatrans, can assist as USA agent if needed.

To find out more about the renewal process and its history, please refer to the attached fact sheet. If you have any questions about renewing your registration, please contact us.
