Contact Us TodayFor Winnipeg's food manufacturers, FDA compliance is an export program: Manitoba's processed foods, oats and grain products, and proteins move south in volume, and every US-bound shipment presumes FDA facility registration, prior notice, and a US importer whose FSVP file depends on your documentation. Winnipeg exporters that treat FSMA as their US customers' problem discover otherwise when an importer's verification request, a label review, or an FDA foreign inspection notice arrives. We build the US-market compliance layer on top of your existing CFIA systems.
FDA requires advance electronic notice of every food shipment entering the US — typically filed by your broker or importer with strict timing windows by transport mode. Errors or omissions get shipments held at the border. Exporters should confirm who files it, that facility registration numbers are current (registrations lapse without biennial renewal), and that product descriptions match registration and label data.
Your PCP puts you most of the way there, and FDA's Preventive Controls rule even offers Canadian facilities a compliance pathway recognizing Canada's food safety system under the US-Canada systems recognition arrangement. Practical gaps are usually specific: US-format labelling, sesame as a US allergen, a US agent for registration, and packaging your documentation the way a US importer's FSVP reviewer expects. We close exactly that delta.
