How Do I Get Removed From an FDA Red List? To have your products removed from the Red List of an FDA Import Alert, you must... Submit a petition to the FDA detailing how the company has identified the source of the problem and is implementing specific, corrective actions that will prevent future violations.

Red List- includes companies or products that FDA has discovered (usually by testing imported products or inspecting documents or the facility) have previously exported unsafe, adulterated, misbranded, or unapproved products. Red listed companies cannot freely import into the U.S.

If a firm/product is on the red list of an import alert, it means they are subject to DWPE. This section lists the firms and/or products that are on the green list of the import alert. If a firm/product are on the green list of an import alert it means they are not subject to DWPE.

Prior to importation of your food shipment, you will need to register with the FDA. Both importers and food facilities in the relevant exporting countries must register. Importers can register with the FDA at their website.
