FDA – Food and Dietary Supplements

Facility Registration (US Facility)

Fee: $299 / year

Food facilities in the United States also register with FDA, even if the food does not enter interstate commerce. The registration rules and the biennial renewal are the same as for foreign facilities; FDA charges no registration fee.

Who Is Obligated?

A facility that manufactures, processes, packs or holds food in the United States. A domestic facility does not designate a US Agent; the registration lists the email address of the facility’s contact person and an emergency contact.

What We Do

  • We assess your facility’s registration obligation and any exemption.
  • We file the registration in FDA’s system on your behalf.
  • We check the facility identifier (DUNS).
  • We track the renewal period and information updates.
