CONSTITUENT UPDATE 

September 30, 2022

Owners, operators, or agents in charge of a domestic or foreign facility engaged
in manufacturing/processing, packing, or holding food for consumption by humans
or animals in the U.S., are required to register the facility with the FDA. The
registration and renewal period is open between October 1 and December 31, 2022.

The FDA will consider the registration of a food facility to be expired if a
facility’s registration is not renewed by December 31, 2022. There is no fee
associated with registration or renewal. Owners, operators, or agents in charge
of food facilities must submit their renewal information electronically through
their FDA Industry Systems account, unless they have received a waiver that
allows for paper submission.

All facilities must include a unique facility identifier (UFI) recognized as
acceptable to the FDA with the registration submission. The UFI is used to
verify that the facility-specific address associated with the UFI is the same
address associated with the facility’s registration. Currently, the FDA
recognizes the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number as an acceptable
UFI. The DUNS number is assigned and managed by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and can
be obtained or verified by visiting D&B’s website
at https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/get-a-duns.htmlExternal Link Disclaimer.

Food facility registration is critical to helping the FDA identify the location
and possible source of a foodborne illness outbreak or potential bioterrorism
incident. Food facility registration requirements were initiated with the Public
Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 and
amended by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in 2011. FSMA requires
facilities to submit additional information to the FDA and to renew their
registrations every other year.

The following resources are available to assist in the registration and renewal
process:

 * Food Facility Biennial Registration Renewal Fact Sheet
 * Webinar on Food Facility Registration (FFR), Biennial Renewal, and Unique
   Facility Identifiers (UFI)
