U.S. FDA Food Canning Establishment (FCE) Registration and Process Filings (SID)
The U.S. FDA requires companies that produce certain shelf-stable, aseptically-sealed low-acid canned or acidified foods to obtain a Food Canning Establishment (FCE) registration. In addition, manufacturers must file documentation with U.S. FDA for each process used in the production of foods subject to these requirements. These submissions are known as a "Process Filing" and each is assigned a unique "Submission Identifier" (SID).
Avoid U.S. FDA refusals and detentions when shipping canned, bottled, jarred, and other shelf-stable foods in the United States by ensuring your food canning establishment is properly registered and your scheduled processes are properly filed. Registrar Corp can helps companies comply with U.S. FDA FCE-SID regulations.

If you believe that your product may be excluded from U.S. FDA FCE-SID requirements
U.S. FDA FCE-SID regulations are complicated and contain numerous "exclusions" (exceptions) for various low-acid or acidified products depending on factors such as processing method, pH changes during processing, etc. U.S. FDA inpectors may not always know merely by looking at the package whether a process filing ("SID") is required. In such circumstances, the inspector could detain the product, send samples for laboratory testing, and request processing information from the manufacturer. Such detentions could last weeks. FCE-SID Exclusion Certificates issued by Registrar Corp address this potential problem by:
- Helping manufacturers determine whether an exclusion applies and then compiling and organizing adequate evidence that the food is excluded from the SID requirement
- Assisting the company in preparing documentation of the product's exclusion status in a format that allows a U.S. FDA inspector to easily, quickly, and reliably confirm that a process filing is not required
- Helping manufacturers communicate with U.S. FDA in the event of a detention
