FCD AFRICA operates under standards aligned with FDA and EU regulations for food, personal care, and home care products.
The FCD AFRICA portal functions exactly as FDA and EU portals regulate food, personal care, and home care products. Our framework ensures that all manufacturers of food, personal care, and home care products in Africa can declare their ingredients and maintain compliance with international regulatory standards.
Manufacturers are required to submit comprehensive ingredient declarations, product information files (PIF), certificates of analysis (COA), material safety data sheets (MSDS), and batch documentation for each product.
All submissions are reviewed by qualified FCD AFRICA inspectors who verify compliance with established standards and provide regulatory feedback.
