Getting started with REX

REX searches food labeling and packing regulatory documents, citations and guidance from the FDA, USDA, and CFR at one time. You can search documentation by keywords and refine your results by date range,, document type (draft guidance, petitions, etc.), category (allergens, labeling, etc.), and more.

This service requires a subscription. Once subscribed, you will use a unique Access Code to finish setting up your account credentials.  To inquire about a subscription, please Contact Sales. If you have subscribed and did not receive the Welcome to REX email, please check your Spam folder and/or Contact Support.
