FDAzilla alternative
FDAzilla.com became the Redica Systems Document Store, where Form 483s and inspection reports are sold as documents, alongside FDA investigator profiles. RegDataLab works differently: it is a searchable record of what FDA has made public, matched to companies and sites, with a free tier. Use it to see a company's inspections, published 483s, citations, warning letters, recalls and import history. For a specific 483 that FDA has not published, a document store or a FOIA request to FDA is still the route.
No key needed for the check. For the full record, connect RegDataLab or use the API.

When to use which
Use a document store when
You need the full text of one specific 483 or inspection report that FDA has not posted.
Use RegDataLab when
You want to know what FDA's public record says about a company or site: outcomes, citations, warning letters, recalls and imports together.
Check before you buy
Look up the site first. If FDA already published the 483, it is linked from the record at no cost.
Free 483s from FDA
FDA posts a subset of Form 483s in its FOIA reading rooms. RegDataLab links those to the inspection and the site they belong to.

- Where can I get Form 483s for free?
- FDA publishes a subset of Form 483s in its FOIA electronic reading rooms. RegDataLab indexes the published ones and links each to its inspection and site. Others can be requested from FDA under FOIA, which costs a fee and can take a long time.
