The United States - Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the import of all food and beverages, including products considered health supplements and traditional health remedies. While many of the regulatory and safety requirements are set forth in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (a law dating back to 1938), more recent requirements such as the Bioterrorism Act and the Food Safety Modernization Act ("FSMA") have changed the complexity of exporting these products to the USA.

AmCham Philippines and Registrar Corp. will host a forum that will give a comprehensive overview of existing and more recent FDA regulations and dive deep into strategies necessary for compliance and success on September 18, 2023 at 2:00pm- 4:00pm at the AmCham Robert Sears Hall, Makati City.

The speaker will also discuss critical changes unfolding within the food and beverage industry and shed light on the far-reaching impact of the new "FSMA" regulations on food and beverage exports.

Throughout the seminar you will have the opportunity to hear from an industry expert from Registrar Corp who will guide attendees through the latest developments and help you to understand the implications for your businesses in the United States.

This seminar will cover a wide range of essential topics, including:

The basic requirements of registering a foreign food facility, designation of a US Agent, and biennial renewals.

Prior Notice submissions and how US FDA utilizes your shipment data.
