US FDA Food Registration

US FDA Food Registration

US FDA Food Registration - Overview

The United States (US) is a compliance-based market for food and dietary supplements. The products are regulated by the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title twenty-one (21). It is the legal authority of the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).  Food and dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, but the USFDA has a strict Regulatory policy for evaluating these products through adverse event monitoring and research. Manufacturers of novel products and novel ingredients are required to submit a pre-market notification to the USFDA via the Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) notification and the New Dietary Ingredient Notification (NDIN).

The facilities that are used to manufacture, process, pack, and store food, beverages, or dietary supplements that are meant to be consumed in the US must be registered in the FDA Food Facility Registration (FFR) system. The facility must also have a US agent with a local address for communication purposes with the FDA. Freyr experts help manufacturers navigate through the complex Regulatory process in the US.
