FDA Holding Shipments with Expired FDA Food Facility Registration Numbers

In a CSMS Message this week, the FDA has advised that, “if a foreign food facility is required to register with FDA, but fails to do so, food from that facility that is being imported or offered for import into the U.S. is subject to be held under Section 801(l) of the FD&C Act.”   If your company did not renew prior to January first, please renew now and advise Willson International of your new FDA Registration number.  If you do not provide Willson with your new registration number, or fail to renew registration, it could result it processing delays.
