To all FDA registered customers, partners and related colleagues of Spica:

       After verification, from October 1, 2020 (New York time), the FDA food manufacturer registration program (mandatory) adds the foreign supplier verification program (FSVP, Foreign Supplier Verification Programs), according to the example of Article 21 of the Federal Regulations, Chapter 1.509, Article L Part (21CFR1.509partL.(1)) and the "Guidelines for the Verification of the Vendor’s Unique Identification Mark for Overseas Supplier Verification Process Regulations" require food manufacturers to provide a unique identification mark (UFI) for verification, that is, the DUNS code.
