U.S. Food and Drug Administration Reportable Food Registry

Posted on: 2010-01-03

Federal Law requires a Responsible Party to file a report through an FDA internet portal [http://rfr.fda.gov] when the responsible party determines that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to an FDA-regulated food (other than infant formula and dietary supplements) will cause serious adverse health consequences to humans or animals. A Responsible Party is the person who submits the facility registration information to the FDA for a food facility at which such food is manufactured, processed, packed or held for human or animal consumption in the United States. That means that every facility required to be in the FDA Food Facility Registration Database is subject to the requirements of the RFR. For more information: www.fda.gov/ReportableFoodRegistry
