Dear Clients and Friends,

As a friendly reminder, food facilities that are required to register with FDA (Food & Drug Administration) must renew their registrations between Oct.1, 2016 thru Dec. 31, 2016. Re-registration is required every two years by the FDA.

According to FDA, the following types of companies must register: “Those facilities are domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States (21 CFR 1.225). For purposes of section 415, the term “facility” in relevant part does not include farms, restaurants, and retail food establishments (section 415(c)(1) of the FD&C Act; 21 CFR 1.226).”

We strongly suggest you begin the renewal process as soon as possible beginning October 1st.  Putting off registration renewals to the last minute could result in the delay in crossings of your future shipments.

If K&K International processed your company’s FDA registration on your behalf, we will automatically begin the renewal process for you starting October 1st. If your company has changed names, address, etc; we request that you contact us immediately so that we may be aware of the changes in order to renew your registration with your updated information. If you DO NOT provide any updated information prior to December 31, we will assume no changes have been made and will automatically update your registration with the existing information we have in our system.

If K&K International did not process your company’s FDA registration on your behalf, please provide us with a copy of your renewal as soon as it has been completed by your company so that we my update our records.

You can access additional information about facility registration on the FDA’s website at:  http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FoodFacilityRegistration/ucm2006831.htm.

This page includes links to key guidance documents about registration.

Kindest regards,
