On July 14, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published in the Federal Register the final rule on Amendments to Registration of Food Facilities (Final Rule). The Final Rule was issued to implement section 102 of the Food Safety Modernization Act and makes many significant changes to the food facility registration process. The Final Rule formalizes food facility renewal requirements, requires additional information to be provided during registration and renewals including a unique facility identifier such as a D-U-N-S number, provides for several additional verification steps before registrations, renewals or updates are accepted by FDA and creates a U.S. agent voluntary identification system among other things. Please join Erik Lieberman of U.S. Food Imports LLC and Lieberman PLLC on July 27, 2016, at 2:00 pm EDT for a review of this important rule. We will also examine FDA’s proposed ACE rule (published in July), which requires additional data elements to be submitted to FDA in entry documentation for food imports and other FDA-regulated products. Although the webinar is complimentary, registration is required. You may register here: https://usfoodimports.adobeconnect.com/fdafoodfacilityace/event/event_info.html
