Food facilities that are required to register with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must renew their registration this year between October 1 and December 31. In addition, all facilities must include a unique facility identifier (UFI) recognized as acceptable to FDA with the registration submission. To date, FDA recognizes the Data Universal Numbering System D-U-N-S (DUNS) number as an acceptable UFI. The DUNS number is assigned and managed by Dun & Bradstreet, and can be obtained or verified through D&B’s website. FDA expects all registrants to provide their DUNS number with their registration or renewal submission before December 31, 2022. If you have questions on this, or any other food-related issues, please contact the IWLA Food Council.  Read More
