FDA, Negosyo to partner for speedy licenses

EXPORTERS of processed food, cosmetics, and health products are likely to experience a shorter waiting time to get their license to operate and certificate of product registration from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“There is now a formal recommendation to establish a tie-up between FDA and Negosyo Centers to fast-track the processing of the two required documents,” said Senen Perlada, executive director of the Export Marketing Bureau (EMB), an agency of Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
