FDA

Overview

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its primary mission is to protect and promote public health by regulating a wide range of products, including food, drugs, medical devices, biologics, cosmetics, tobacco products, and radiation-emitting products. Established over a century ago, the FDA enforces laws to ensure that these products are safe, effective, and truthfully labeled.

The FDA conducts thorough oversight through inspections, investigations, and compliance actions. It is responsible for approving and monitoring the safety and efficacy of human and veterinary drugs, medical devices, and biologics. The agency also regulates food safety and labeling, tobacco product marketing, and exposure to radiation-emitting products. With headquarters in White Oak, Maryland, and numerous field offices and labs across the United States and internationally, the FDA collaborates with global regulators to enhance public health and safety.
