Under 21 CFR 1.227, a “trade name” is a name under which a facility conducts business, as
opposed to a “brand name”, which is a name associated with a product. A distributor is required
to include in a facility’s registration all trade names under which the facility conducts business (21
CFR 1.232(a)(5)). A facility’s registration is not required to include all brand names for products
manufactured/processed, packed, or held at the facility.
