USA: Food Facility Registration Product Categories

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued the updated guidance that will help enhance the FDA’s ability to respond quickly and accurately to food-related emergencies by updating the food product categories that companies can select when registering with the agency.Information about the categories of food a facility manufactures or distributes helps the FDA conduct investigations and surveillance operations in response to food-related emergencies. These categories also enable the agency to quickly alert facilities potentially affected by such an incident if FDA receives information indicating the type of food affected.More information
