New FDA TOOL for Importers

FDA-USA
Do you import food products (or any FDA regulated product) into the U.S.? I've launched a new website (www.FDA-USA.com) to assist you in learning the basic requirements for FDA regulated products. The website features information for importers of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, dietary supplements and alcoholic beverages.

Don't forget, if you are a registered food facility with the FDA and don't comply with FDA's mandatory biennial registration, FDA can cancel your FDA Food Facility Registration. Learn more about the Biennial Registration requirement in my previous post here.

Calling ALL Animal Lovers! Walk for the Animals - 2/28/15

Every now and then there is a charity that just plain and simply warms your heart and has you painlessly giving away that money you work so hard to obtain.  The Humane Society of Greater Miami is that charity for me. Both of my precious pets are from the Humane Society - and I am extremely thankful. This is my small way to give back, and I hope you will join me if you are in Miami!
