UFI
UNIQUE FACILITY IDENTIFIER

Every other year all food processing facilities must renew their registration (between October and December).  This year, 2020, is one of those years.  This time, though, there will be an added twist:  you will need to obtain a "UFI" -- a Unique Facility Identifier number. However, FDA has not yet set up the system to generate the number.  Bureaucracy at work!  So I asked FDA about this new requirement.  Here is the communication.  I will let all the clients of The Vitamin Consultancy know how to meet the requirements.  Remember, if you handle any food product, such as dietary supplements or herbs, you must be registered.

My experience will strengthen your company!  I provide private and confidential, competent electronic professional consulting to my Dietary Supplement and advanced healthcare ("CAM") modality clients, for the purpose of compliance with International, State and Federal (including FTC and FDA) standards for communicating about the advertising and sale of dietary supplements (including medical foods) and/or providing of health care services and information. You should consider my SOP / cGMP Certification Course, allowing start-up and established vitamin companies and practitioners who own their own private labeled products to meet with new FDA procedural regulations.
