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 a plant aligned with FSMA — the US food safety rule, which differs from Brazilian HACCP practice. JMarona runs all four, including acting as your US Agent.

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 an existing HACCP plan satisfy FSMA?
Not automatically. FSMA has its own preventive control requirements. The plant is diagnosed against FSMA and receives an adequacy plan where gaps exist.
