FDA has requested companies with facilities already registered for export to China to review the current listing of each facility on the CNCA website. FDA is requesting that companies ensure the names of the products listed for each of their facilities matches one of the names listed on the CNCA list of acceptable product names.
Additionally, FDA is requesting companies verify that each listed facility is currently capable of producing the products listed on the CNCA website. Once verification of the information is complete, companies should email Esther Lazar (esther.lazar@fda.hhs.gov), confirming all of the details are correct or noting any changes that must be made.

With the cranberry industry continuing its strong focus on expanding exports of the native fruit, DATCP’s International Agribusiness Center, along with the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association (WSCGA), brought a group of Mexican food buyers to tour Wisconsin’s cranberry industry (Oct 19-23). The buyers met directly with cranberry suppliers and toured Wisconsin cranberry marshes and processing facilities. The group also toured the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center in Warrens, which has a museum featuring interactive displays and information about the industry and history of Wisconsin cranberries. Cranberries are Wisconsin’s No. 1 fruit crop in both value and acreage, bringing in a total value of more than $935 million annually and supporting nearly 4,000 jobs in the state.
