What happens after FDA notifies a food facility that FDA intends to inspect their facilities?

First, the facility should acknowledge FDA’s notification of inspection. After the facility acknowledges FDA’s intent to inspect their facility, FDA contacts the facility again by letter with specific information regarding the proposed inspection dates, and logistical information, including the availability of interpreter assistance; full mailing and physical address of manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding facility; and the contact information of responsible person or persons. The competent authority receives a copy of this notification. Once the inspection is planned with the food facility, the final itinerary is shared with the competent authority.
