FDA renewals: use the programme's own calendar
Keep food, device, drug and cosmetics update obligations on separate schedules.
Applicable route
FDA's September 29, 2026 reminder gives the food facility renewal window as October 1 through December 31, 2026; the registrations of applicable facilities that fail to renew will be considered expired. This is a food-registration calendar, not a universal renewal period for every FDA product branch.
Records and action
Device establishments subject to registration complete annual registration between October 1 and December 31 for each fiscal year. Cosmetic facilities subject to MoCRA renew every two years from initial registration, while product listing updates are annual. Drug listing updates follow their own instructions, including June and December updates when information changes.
Example and boundaries
Example: a company uses its food renewal receipt to claim that its cosmetic facility and device establishment are current. Check each record separately and assign an update owner. Kayra may prepare a calendar and change log; an old private certificate does not extend an expired registration.
