DUNS Number Assistance
Fee: $99
Food facility registration requires an FDA-accepted unique facility identifier (UFI). FDA recognizes the DUNS number issued by Dun & Bradstreet as the accepted UFI; the registration and the biennial renewal are made with this number.

What We Do

- If there is no DUNS number, we prepare and follow up on the application.
- We add the DUNS number to your food facility registration.
What You Receive
