The U.S. FDA requires manufacturers of low-acid canned foods (LACF) or acidified foods (AF) in cans, bottles, jars, or vacuum packaging to obtain a Food Canning Establishment (FCE) registration number before exporting these products to the U.S. market for sale
The U.S. FDA requires these manufacturers to submit their production plans, including the style of each product, container size, type, and processing method. Each process submission will be identified by a unique specific submission identifier (SID) for each product. Therefore, to import acidified or low-acid canned foods into the U.S., manufacturers must possess both the Food Canning Establishment (FCE) registration and the SID for the imported products
Whether a product requires submission of an FCE/SID or is exempt is a serious matter. Customs import detentions can be complex issues. Therefore, we are dedicated to developing compliant plans for businesses to mitigate the impact of regulations on their operations
Nutrition Facts Panel:Calculating and determining serving sizes in the U.S. measurement system, and preparing the nutrition facts panel accordingly.
Ingredient Declaration:Reviewing and advising on changes to the order or naming of ingredients to ensure compliance with FDA standards and provide consumer-friendly ingredient declarations.
Label Claims:Reviewing and providing guidance on nutritional claims, organic claims, health claims, and other regulatory statements (such as pasteurized, natural, fresh, etc.) appearing on the product label.
Label Layout and Format:Redesigning and recommending finished product labels to ensure that the size, shape, layout, and format align with the characteristics of the product.
Other Considerations:Allergen statements, structure/function claims, nutritional claims, and other relevant elements.
