Under 21 CFR 1.227, a private residence is not a “facility” and thus, is not required to register. A
private residence must meet customary expectations for a private home and does not otherwise
include commercial facilities in which a person also happens to reside. Thus, a private residence
that meets customers expectations for a private residence that is also used to manufacture,
process, pack, or hold food need not be registered. Accordingly, if the activities of the jam
producer meet customary expectations for a private residence, the producer would not be required
to register.
