Starting on October 1, 2012, U.S. and foreign food facilities that sell into the U.S. market will be required to comply with the new registration process established by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).  Although FSMA became law in January of 2011, amending the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act significantly in order to strengthen the food safety system, the amendments relating to food facility registration are taking effect after the 2 year grace period established under the law.
