This morning FDA experienced a delay in processing for all prior notice submissions. The issue has been resolved but it will take a few hours for the backlog to clear. FDA will issue a message when the backlog has completely cleared.

When a PNSI confirmation number submitted today after approximately 9:15 AM is linked to an entry, the delay is causing a reject due to “Invalid PNC Number”. Once FDA resolves the delay in processing, the PNSI prior notice confirmation numbers will no longer reject for “Invalid PNC Number.” A PGA correction may be performed to resolve the rejected entry once the backlog is cleared.

ACE standalone prior notice confirmation numbers are not causing a reject when linked to an entry.

Questions regarding prior notice compliance actions and policies should be presented to the FDA's Division of Food Defense Targeting 24/7 at (866) 521-2297.

FDA ACE Support can be contacted from 6:00 AM -10:00 PM Eastern, 7 days a week, at ACE_Support@fda.hhs.gov or 877-345-1101 for ACE inquiries.
