The Reportable Food Registry (RFR) is an electronic portal for food producers to notify the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when there is reasonable probability that a food product will cause serious adverse health consequences. It was established by the FDA as a means of improving communication between the food industry and the agency.
Reportable Food Registry requirements contained in section 417 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic ACT (FDCA) went into effect on September 8, 2009.
Section 417 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) requires a “responsible party” to submit to FDA a report within 24 hours after the responsible party determines that an article of food is a “reportable food.”
