FDA & FSMA Resources

FDA Food Facility Registration 

The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), enacted on January 4, 2011, requires that facilities engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding food for consumption in the United States submit additional registration information to FDA, including an assurance that FDA will be permitted to inspect the facility. It also requires food facilities required to register with FDA to renew such registrations every other year.

Food Recalls

Food producers recall their products from the marketplace when the products are mislabeled or when the food may present a health hazard to consumers because the food is contaminated or has caused a foodborne illness outbreak.

Reportable Food Registry (RFR)

The Reportable Food Registry (RFR or the Registry) is an electronic portal for Industry to report when there is reasonable probability that an article of food will cause serious adverse health consequences. The Registry helps the FDA better protect the public health by tracking patterns and targeting inspections.

FDA’s Food Defense

FDA has a leading role in a number of Food Defense Initiatives to protect food from acts of intentional adulteration or tampering and to assist facilities to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from acts of intentional adulteration of the food supply.

Preventive Controls for Human & Animal Food Training

This training, developed by the FSPCA, is the “standardized curriculum” recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual.”

NC State University hosts this training at least twice a year, contact the Food Safety Extension Lab for more information on private training opportunities.
