  • Deadline Set for China's List of Dairy and Infant Formula Storage Facilities

    By Mitchell Bowling March 6, 2014

    The Food and Drug Administration asks for the following information.  

    USDEC received clarification this week that all dairy and infant formula storage facilities must be included on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) list of establishments eligible to export to China. The deadline to get your facilities on FDA’s list and ensure no disruption in service to China is March 14. Any facility request received after March 14, 2014, will not be on the initial list transmitted to Chinese authorities but will be added in subsequent updates.

    To be included on the list, FDA is asking that companies send the following information on company letterhead as an attachment to Esther Lazar at esther.lazar@fda.hhs.gov:
    1. Business name and address.
    2. Name, telephone number and email (if available) of contact person.
    3. List of products presently stored that may be shipped to China and those intended to be stored and shipped.
    4. Name and address of the storage facility for each product.
    5. Name of any federal, state or local governmental agencies that inspect the facility, along with the government-assigned Facility Establishment Identifier (FEI) number and date of last inspection.
    6. Copy of last inspection notice and, if other than an FDA inspection, copy of last inspection report.
