Do French food companies need FDA registration?

Yes. Under U.S. law, every facility that manufactures, processes, packs or holds food for people or animals in the United States must be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This applies to facilities in France exactly as it does to U.S. facilities. Typical French products we register include wine, cheese, chocolate, bakery products, cognac and spirits, and supplements.

Your registration or approval with your departmental food safety authority (DDPP) is still needed at home, but it does not replace FDA registration. Without a valid FDA registration, your shipments can be held at the U.S. port and your importer cannot file Prior Notice correctly.

What you need

  • The facility's legal name and exact physical address
  • A D-U-N-S number for that address. It is free from Dun & Bradstreet but can take several weeks, so request it early.
  • An emergency contact phone answered 24 hours a day
  • A list of the foods made, packed or stored at the facility

French cosmetics and perfume

French cosmetics and perfume companies selling in the U.S. must register their manufacturing facilities and list their products with FDA under MoCRA. A CPNP notification does not cover the U.S. See our MoCRA registration service ($369 a year with U.S. Agent). Before you order, see who must register, how product listing works and U.S. label rules. Products with SPF are regulated as drugs in the U.S. (cosmetic or drug?).

Wine, beer and spirits

Wineries, breweries and distilleries must register with FDA too. Separately, your U.S. importer needs label approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).

Questions

We are approved by the DDPP. Do we still need FDA registration?

Yes. Approvals at home cover France. For the U.S., each facility that makes, packs or stores the food must be registered with the U.S. FDA.

Do French facilities need a U.S. Agent?

Yes. Every food facility outside the U.S. must name a U.S. Agent located in the United States. It is included in our $269 price.

Can you register more than one of our facilities?

Yes. Each address is registered separately. Additional facilities with the same owner are $169 each.
