Turkey's FDA-Registered Food Facilities Must Renew by December 31, 2026
Turkish food exporters ship significant volumes of dried apricots, figs, hazelnuts, olive oil, and confectionery to the U.S. market. Any Turkish facility with an active FDA registration must renew it between October 1 and December 31, 2026.
Because Turkey exports across so many distinct food categories — from dried fruit to confectionery to olive oil — facilities registered under multiple product lines should confirm all categories are captured correctly in a single renewal filing.
Important: The FDA does not send renewal reminders. If your turkey facility registered before 2026, your registration must be renewed between October 1 and December 31, 2026, or it is automatically canceled — with no grace period.
Common Turkey Export Categories Affected by This Renewal
The following turkey export categories are typically registered with the FDA and must be renewed during this window:
Dried Fruits & Apricots
Turkish dried fruit processors, including major apricot and fig exporters, must renew FDA registration to continue shipping to the U.S.
Hazelnuts & Nuts
Turkey's hazelnut and nut processing facilities registered with the FDA are subject to the same biennial renewal requirement as all food exporters.
Olive Oil
Turkish olive oil producers and bottlers exporting to the U.S. must maintain active FDA registration and renew on schedule.
Confectionery & Sweets
Turkish delight, halva, and confectionery manufacturers exporting to the U.S. must renew before the December 31, 2026 deadline.
Renewal Period & What Happens If You Miss It
The FDA's biennial food facility renewal period runs from October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. This applies to every foreign food facility already registered with the FDA, including facilities across Turkey.
If the deadline is missed: the registration is canceled automatically. The facility must file a brand-new registration rather than a renewal, and any shipments attempted during the lapsed period can be refused or detained at the U.S. border.
DUNS/UFI & Information Updates for Turkey Facilities
Every renewal requires a valid Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) — most commonly a D-U-N-S Number. Turkey facilities renewing in 2026 should confirm this number is active and correctly listed before filing, along with:
- Current facility name, address, and parent company details
- An emergency contact who can actually be reached
- Accurate general product categories for everything currently exported
- Owner/operator information, if ownership has changed
- An active, confirmed U.S. Agent
The U.S. Agent Requirement for Turkey Exporters
Every turkey facility renewing its FDA registration must maintain a U.S. Agent — a person or company physically located in the United States. This is a legal requirement; without a valid, confirmed U.S. Agent, the renewal cannot be completed.
Renewal is often the point at which turkey exporters discover their existing U.S. Agent is no longer reachable — a freelancer who stopped responding, or a service that quietly shut down. Regovant can step in as your U.S. Agent as part of the renewal filing itself, with no separate switching process required.
