FDA & U.S. MARKET

FDA Process Filing and Thermal Process Validation

End-to-end technical support for food manufacturers expanding into the US market—from validation to the FDA process.

As the KVS team, we provide support for process evaluation, on-site validation, expert reporting, FCE/SID process filing consultancy, and—when necessary—responding to technical inquiries from the FDA.

FDA process filing and thermal process validation
01

Field Validation

Field measurements and technical verification of the production process.

02

Expert Report

Technical evaluation of measurement and process data.

03

FCE / SID Support

Technical expertise and filing support required for process filing.

04

FDA Technical Follow-up

Support throughout the process regarding requests for additional information and technical questions.

END-TO-END APPROACH

FDA Process It is not merely filling out a form.

For acidified and low-acid hermetically sealed foods, the technical framework of the FDA process requires a comprehensive evaluation of the product, packaging, production equipment, process parameters, and studies demonstrating the reliability of the process.

We manage the entire process from a single point of contact—ranging from the generation of technical data in the field and validation to expert reports, and from FCE/SID filing support to responding to FDA technical inquiries.

The scope of service is determined based on product and process characteristics. The first step is a joint assessment of the current situation and the required work.

OUR WORKING MODEL

How Do We Manage the Process?

We technically plan, execute, and follow every step—from your product process through the FDA filing stage.

01

Preliminary Assessment

The product, packaging, process, equipment, and existing documentation are reviewed.

02

Validation Plan

The measurement and validation scope appropriate for the product and process is defined.

03

On-Site Validation

Required field measurements are performed and process data is collected.

04

Expert Report

The data is analyzed and the technical evaluation is documented in a report.

05

FCE / SID Process Filing

The technical information required for the filing is prepared and the filing process is supported.

06

FDA Technical Follow-up

When necessary, requests for additional information and technical questions are followed up.

FROM FIELD DATA TO TECHNICAL FILING

Thermal Process Validation

The process values included in the FDA filing must represent the actual production conditions in the field. Therefore, the process is evaluated not only through set values, but also through measurement and technical assessment.

  • Evaluation of product, packaging, and equipment information
  • Planning of temperature distribution studies and required process measurements
  • Evaluation of heat penetration and critical process parameters
  • Recording of process time and temperature data
  • Analysis of results according to technical criteria
  • Preparation of traceable validation documentation

PROCESS FILING

FCE / SID Process Filing Support

We support the preparation of technical information to be submitted to the FDA for the relevant product and process, the accurate filing of process data, and the technical follow-up of the process filing procedure.

Filing Preparation

Product, packaging, processing method, and critical parameters are compiled.

Technical Review

The consistency of filing data with the validation study and expert report is verified.

SID should be regarded not as a quality certificate or product approval, but as the identifier of the relevant submission within the FDA process filing procedure.
Process from measurement to the FCE/SID process filing documentation
TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Expert Report

Field measurements and process information are not left as raw data; they are transformed into a traceable report structure that can be used during filing and technical evaluation.

Process Description

Product, packaging, equipment, and process conditions are documented.

Measurement Results

Field data is organized and prepared for analysis.

Technical Analysis

Critical process parameters and validation results are evaluated.

Conclusion

The evaluation, appendices, and traceability information are consolidated into a single report.

SUPPORT AFTER FILING

FDA Technical Follow-up

If the FDA requests additional clarification after process filing regarding the process, product, or submitted technical information, we support the technical assessment of the request and preparation of the required response.

  • Evaluation of technical questions received from the FDA
  • Comparison with existing validation and process data
  • Identification of required additional information or technical documentation
  • Support in preparing the technical response
  • Assessment of the need for additional measurement / validation when required

Not just a filing, but an end-to-end process

Proceed with expert support from measurement and validation to the expert report, process filing, and FDA technical follow-up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

SID (Submission Identifier) is an identifier used to identify the relevant process filing record. It is not a quality certificate or product approval in the conventional sense.

Packaging type, size, and geometry may affect heat transfer and process requirements. Therefore, the product, packaging, and process should be evaluated together.

Validation verifies with technical data that the process conditions stated in the filing represent the actual production conditions in the field.

Yes. Additional clarification or supporting documentation may be requested regarding the submitted process or technical information. The KVS team can support the technical evaluation and preparation of the response.

No. Our services can be planned end-to-end according to your needs, covering preliminary technical assessment of the process, on-site validation, the expert report, process filing support, and FDA technical follow-up when required.
