Amid continuing confusion regarding the responsibility of food establishments both here and abroad to register with FDA under the Bioterrorism Act, the agency has published a document entitled "Questions & Answers Regarding the Interim Final Rule on Registration of Food Facilities (Edition 3)."
This was likely a good idea since several feed mills which have already registered with FDA received notices requesting them to verify their registration, only to find the registration FDA has is rife with misinformation.
FDA told the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) if a facility receives such a verification notice, even with incorrect information, it should go ahead and verify the registration since the intent of the notice is to confirm the facility should be registered in the first place. If the notice contains incorrect information, the company is directed to FDA's registration database (www.fda.gov) to correct any data that is incorrect.
As to other questions and answers, the Q/A document can also be found on the agency's website by going to www.cfsan.fda.gov/guidance.html.
