Contact Us TodayFDA compliance in New York City runs at unusual density — thousands of registered food facilities packed into five boroughs, layered under New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets licensing (Article 20-C for processors) and NYC Health Department oversight for retail and service operations. FSMA work here spans the full spectrum, from Preventive Controls plans for ethnic-food manufacturers in Brooklyn and Queens to FSVP programs for the import houses that make New York one of America's largest food-import gateways.
No — Article 20-C is New York State's processor licensing under Agriculture and Markets, inspected by the state; FDA registration and FSMA obligations are federal and separate. The good news is the systems share substance: your state-inspected sanitation and process controls feed directly into the FSMA food safety plan. We build one documentation set both inspectors can read.
Size matters: 'qualified facilities' under the Preventive Controls rule — based on sales thresholds and direct-to-consumer ratios — face modified requirements rather than full food safety plans, with an attestation process instead. But growth or a single wholesale contract can change your status. We assess your actual eligibility and build for where you're headed, not just where you are.
