Can the U.S. agent for a foreign food facility access the facility’s registration via FDA Unified Registration and Listing Systems (FURLS)/Food Facility Registration Module (FFRM) and help desk on behalf of the foreign facility?

Yes. The U.S. agent of a foreign facility can view the information submitted in the foreign
facility’s registration (21 CFR 1.227). The U.S. agent will be able to view the information
electronically via FURLS/FFRM. U.S. agents can contact FDA’s help desk with questions about
foreign facilities that they represent. In addition, a U.S. agent may contact FDA’s help desk on
behalf of the foreign facility (see Comment 25 in the Registration Final Rule; 81 FR 45912 at
45927).
