Getting a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) for your Food Facility
In accordance with 21 CFR 1.232(a)(2), beginning October 1, 2020, FDA is requiring all food facilities to provide a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) with the registration information. At this time, FDA recognizes the Data Universal Numbering System D-U-N-S (DUNS) number as an acceptable UFI.
