Has anyone registered? Is this going result in a personal invitation for FDA inspection?

The Bioterrorism Act requires domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the U.S. to register with the FDA by December 12, 2003.
Owners, operators, or agents in charge of domestic or foreign facilities that manufacture/process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the U.S. are required to register the facility with the FDA.
Domestic facilities are required to register whether or not food from the facility enters interstate commerce.
It is required so everyone should. The document showing your registration as current has been the first thing Inspectors ask for when they arrive.
