In short
Exporting food to the United States requires four workstreams: FDA facility registration, a US Agent with a fixed American address, Nutrition Facts labeling and, depending on the project, plant adequacy to FSMA, the US food safety rule. JMarona runs all four, including acting as your US Agent.
Exporting food to the United States requires FDA facility registration, a US Agent with a fixed address in the country, Nutrition Facts labeling and, depending on the project, plant adequacy to FSMA, the US food safety rule.
JMarona runs the full process, including acting as your US Agent, while the industrial arm runs the plant diagnostic and adequacy when the project requires it.

Frequently asked questions — United States
What is the US Agent the FDA requires?
A person or company with a fixed address in the United States, appointed as the official point of contact between a foreign food facility and the FDA. The role is regulatory, not commercial — it does not replace an importer or distributor.
Does our plant need to change to export to the United States?
It depends on the product, establishment and operating model. FSMA sets its own food safety and preventive control requirements; where they apply to the project, the plant is diagnosed and receives an adequacy plan with follow-up.
