Voluntary reporting of temporary closures or requesting assistance for FDA-regulated food establishments during COVID-19 pandemic
The Food and Agriculture Sector is considered critical infrastructure because food operations are vital to the health and well-being of the nation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA has been working to support the sector so that Americans have access to the safe and healthy food they need. While most food production and supply chains have been resilient during the pandemic, there are FDA-regulated food establishments that have closed temporarily or face challenges that could lead to closures, because of COVID-19.
