Do Indian 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 India exactly as it does to U.S. facilities. Typical Indian products we register include spices and masalas, basmati rice, tea, snacks and namkeen, pickles, sweets, and herbal and Ayurvedic supplements.

Your FSSAI licence and export registrations are still needed at home, but they do 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

Spices at the U.S. border

FDA may sample spices when they arrive, for example for Salmonella. Testing before shipping and clean paperwork help avoid holds. A valid registration and correct Prior Notice are the starting point.

Herbal and Ayurvedic products

Herbal products sold in the U.S. as dietary supplements must follow FDA's supplement rules, including U.S.-format labels and no claims to treat or cure disease. See our label reviews.

Questions

We have an FSSAI licence. Do we still need FDA registration?

Yes. FSSAI covers India. For the U.S., each facility that makes, packs or stores the food must be registered with the U.S. FDA.

Do Indian 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.

We are a merchant exporter. Do we register?

Only if you make, pack, relabel or store the food at your own premises. Otherwise the manufacturing and packing facilities you buy from must be registered.
