Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to register with the FDA?
Domestic and foreign establishments that manufacture, process, pack, or market food, drugs, APIs, medical devices, or cosmetics for the U.S. market generally must register. The specific requirements depend on the product type.
Does FDA registration mean my product is FDA approved?
No. Registration is a notification to the FDA, not an approval, certification, or endorsement of your establishment or products. Claiming otherwise can be considered misbranding.
Do foreign companies need a U.S. Agent to register?
Yes. A U.S. FDA Agent is mandatory for all foreign establishments, and registration cannot be completed without one.
Does the FDA issue a registration certificate?
No. The FDA does not issue registration certificates. LMG provides its own certificate confirming your registration for your records, which should not be represented as an FDA document.
