In order to claim eligibility for an exemption, a qualified facility must notify FDA of its status by submitting Form FDA 3942a. Using this form, the owner, operator, or agent in charge of a food facility must attest that the facility in question meets the definition of a qualified facility and that the facility is either “addressing identified hazards through preventive controls and monitoring the preventive controls,” or “complying with applicable non-Federal food safety regulations, and notifying consumers of the name and complete business address of the facility where the food was manufactured or processed (FDA.gov)”.
