What is the FDA?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency whose mission is to protect public health. It does so by overseeing the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs, biological products, and medical devices for both human and veterinary use. The FDA also ensures the safety of the nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and radiation-emitting products.
In addition, the FDA regulates the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products in order to protect public health and reduce tobacco use, particularly among minors.
As part of its mission, the FDA also promotes public health by fostering innovation and making medical products safer, more effective, and more accessible. It provides clear, science-based information to help the public make informed decisions about the use of food and medical products that contribute to their well-being.
The FDA also plays a key role in defending the country against terrorism by ensuring the safety of the food supply and promoting the development of medical products to respond to both intentional and naturally occurring public health threats.
