U.S. SID FILING SUPPORT

U.S. SID Filing Support refers to professional assistance provided to businesses that manufacture low-acid canned foods (LACF) or acidified foods (AF) in the United States and introduce these products into interstate commerce. This assistance helps them obtain a SID (Submission Identifier) number, which is required by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as part of the FCE (Food Canning Establishment) registration.

What is a SID (Submission Identifier)?

• A SID number is a unique identifier assigned by the FDA to each product and processing method as part of the FCE registration.

• This number allows the FDA to track and monitor low-acid and acidified canned food products and their processing methods (thermal processing, acidification, etc.).

• The SID number is issued upon successful process filing using Form FDA 2541d, 2541e, 2541f, or 2541g. The specific form used depends on the product and processing method.
