Applying for a License to Operate (LTO) for food establishment with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formerly Bureau of Food and Drug (BFAD) is among the initial steps for those who intend to set up a business as a food manufacturer, importer, exporter, trader, repacker or distributor, before they could start to operate their business in the Philippines.
I prepared below a step-by-step guide on how to get a license to operate for those who intend to do it on their own. Note that this is quite a tedious and time consuming task especially since there are several requirements and the location of the main FDA office is in Alabang.
Who are required to apply for a License to Operate (LTO) as a Food Establishment?
All food establishments should first secure a License to Operate (LTO) before engaging in food manufacturing, importation, exportation, offering for sale or consumption, distribution and transport, for food trade and exhibition, promotion, advertising, donation, or sponsorship of any health product.
Are food supplements covered by these requirements?
Yes. Food supplements and companies dealing with food supplements are covered by these requirements.
Where to file the application for License to Operate?
An application may be filed with the Center for Food in the FDA central office or respective regional field offices having jurisdiction over the establishment, or on-line once operational or a designated establishment or government agency by the FDA.
How long is the validity period for the License to Operate?
Initial– Initial LTO/CPR issued shall be valid for one (1) year from date of issuance reflected as such.
Renewal- Renewed LTO shall be valid for two (2) years and renewed CPR shall be valid for five (5) years from date of issuance reflected as such
What are the general requirements?

- Proof of registration
- Proof of occupancy – office
- Proof of occupancy – warehouse
- Proof of occupancy – manufacturer
- Photocopy of Notarized Fixed Asset & Operating Capital or Financial Statement (new requirement)
- Location Plan
- Floor Plan
- Tentative list of food products to be manufactured or distributed identified on its classification and category
- Facsimile of Proposed Label (for local manufacturer) / sample label of product to be imported or a digital image of the document in an FDA-approved file type.
What are the specific requirements?
A. Food Repacker
Photocopy of notarized valid contract/ agreement with the manufacturer, with attached LTO of the manufacturer
B. Food Importer for Raw Materials
- List of sources for raw materials
- List of materials to be imported
C. Food Importer for Finished Products in Bulk
- Photocopy of Foreign Agency Agreement duly authenticated by the Territorial Philippine Consulate
- Photocopy of Certificate of Status of Manufacturer (cGMP Certificate) issued by a Government Health Agency Duly authenticated by the Territorial Philippine Consulate.
D. Food Manufacturer

- List of Products and brands to be manufactured/repacked
- List of production equipment with specification
- List of quality control facilities and equipment (if any)
- Flowchart of manufacturing process with emphasis on identification of critical control points
- Detailed description of manufacturing process
- Quality control procedures / sanitation standard operating procedures enforced in the plant
- Certification with current laboratory analysis
- Name and address of suppliers of raw materials and packaging materials
- 10. HACCP Program
E. Importer of Finished Products
- Any one of the following from each supplier – Foreign Agency Agreement/ Certificate of Distributorship/ Appointment Letter Proforma Invoice

- Certificate of Registration of Manufacturer and its conformity with GMP from Regulatory/ Health Authority or its equivalent;
- Phytosanitary Certificate;
- Certificate of Free Sale;
- HACCP Plan/Certificate as applicable;
F. Food Exporter
- LTO of Supplier/ Manufacturer;
- Notarized Distributorship agreement/Letter of Appointment with FDA Licensed Supplier/Manufacturer to distribute their products outside of the Philippines
- List of products with registration number and validities
G. Wholesaler
a. Locally Procured Raw Materials in Bulk and Finished:
i. LTO of Supplier/ Manufacturer
ii. Notarized Distributor Agreement or Letter of Appointment with FDA licensed Supplier/ Manufacturer to distribute their products outside the Philippines
iii. List of food products with registration numbers and validities
b. Subcontracts to a Licensed Manufacturer/ Repacker – LTO of Manufacturer and/or Repacker (tolling/ repacking activity and specific product should be indicated in the LTO)
Are there any other requirements?
Yes, there are other requirements but these are still not final since the FDA’s draft revised rules and regulations governing the licensing of food establishments and registration of food products is still for comments and not yet final.
I will update the list once this is final. Subscribe to the mailing list to get updates.

Good Day Atty.
Jett here. I am currently starting my own business of making mass production of Minced Garlic pacled and wanted it to be distributed to some certain supermarket or groceries.
Called their offices and some are requiring me to have my product be BFAD approved first but apparently, I have no idea where to start and is curious about all the expenses and how-to’s since its just a simple little business.
Just wanted to be in the market since it will target mostly shoppers and direct household.
If its not too much to ask, just wanted to know on how and where should I start? and also, do we need a registered business first or do we have a bfad approval before anything else.
Appreciate the help sir.

Hi Atty. Good day. It’s like this, we apply for our CPR for food and get denied. Our company is registered as Food Distributor/importer/wholesaler (FDA-LTO). We import our Rawmat and processed here in the Philippines. Reason of denial was ‘inconsistent declaration of company activity’ They told us that we should apply for another LTO as Food Trader since we are putting ‘Manufactured for’ in our label. When i ask them to differentiate Food Trader and our current LTO they cannot explain. Hope you could assist us. Thanks.
