It's that time again! Every two years (on even numbered years), food facilities are required to renew their facility registration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Registrations must be renewed between October 1 and December 31, 2024. Do not wait until the last minute! You will need your unique facility identifier (UFI) or Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number associated with your facility. You can find your DUNS number by going to the Dun & Bradstreet's Website.

Other Registration Resources

There are a number of resources available through the FDA that answer common registration renewal questions.
