FDA Issues Final Rule for Registration of Food Facilities

July 18, 2016, Covington Alert

On July 14, 2016, FDA published its amended final regulations for registration of domestic and foreign food facilities under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Registration is required for such facilities that manufacture/process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption. The final rule codifies a number of provisions that were mandated by FSMA and already in effect under that law, and adds some new requirements.
