No. The definition of “food” in 21 CFR 1.227, for the purposes of food facility registration,
excludes food contact substances as defined in section 409(h)(6) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
348(h)(6)). Consequently, a facility that manufactures/processes, packs, or holds food contact
substances, including food packaging or bottled water containers or closures, is not required to
register.
