                Subpart H_Registration of Food Facilities

 

Sec.  1.226  Who does not have to register under this subpart?



    This subpart does not apply to the following facilities:

    (a) A foreign facility, if food from such facility undergoes further 

manufacturing/processing (including packaging) by another facility 

outside the United States. A facility is not exempt under this provision 

if the further manufacturing/processing (including packaging) conducted 

by the subsequent facility consists of adding labeling or any similar 

activity of a de minimis nature;

    (b) Farms;

    (c) Retail food establishments;

    (d) Restaurants;

    (e) Nonprofit food establishments in which food is prepared for, or 

served directly to, the consumer;

    (f) Fishing vessels, including those that not only harvest and 

transport fish but also engage in practices such as heading, 

eviscerating, or freezing intended solely to prepare fish for holding on 

board a harvest vessel. However, those fishing vessels otherwise engaged 

in processing fish are subject to this subpart. For the purposes of this 

section, ``processing'' means handling, storing, preparing, shucking, 

changing into different market forms, manufacturing, preserving, 

packing, labeling, dockside unloading, holding, or heading, 

eviscerating, or freezing other than solely to prepare fish for holding 

on board a harvest vessel;

    (g) Facilities that are regulated exclusively, throughout the entire 

facility, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Federal Meat 

Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Poultry Products Inspection 

Act (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.), or the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 

U.S.C. 1031 et seq.);
