FDA Food Canning Establishment (FCE) Registration
If your company produces low-acid or acidified canned foods (LACF/AF) for the U.S. market, FDA requires you to register as a Food Canning Establishment (FCE). In addition, you must submit process filings (SIDs) for each product.
At USAgentPros, we simplify this highly technical process so you can stay compliant and avoid costly shipment delays.
Who Needs FCE Registration?
You may be required to register as an FCE if you manufacture:
- Canned vegetables, fruits, or juices
- Tomato-based products (e.g., sauces, salsas)
- Pickled or acidified foods
- Soups, broths, or sauces packed in sealed containers
- Any other low-acid or acidified food products intended for U.S. sale
Both U.S. and foreign facilities must register if they produce these types of products.
Why It Matters
FDA requires FCE registration and process filings to:
- Ensure product safety and shelf stability
- Prevent foodborne illnesses like botulism
- Maintain traceability of food production facilities
Failure to register properly can lead to shipment detentions, recalls, or import refusals.
