FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the government body responsible for regulating foods, dietary supplements, drugs, vaccines, medical devices, veterinary products, cosmetics, and more. The FDA also enforces section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and the associated regulations, including sanitation requirements on interstate travel and specific rules for control of diseases. The FDA’s regulations affect thousands of businesses across the globe.
