About this company

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland. Its primary mission is to protect public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices. The FDA is also responsible for ensuring the safety of the nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. The agency's regulatory authority extends over a vast array of products, overseeing their manufacture, marketing, and distribution to ensure they meet federal standards. This includes evaluating new drugs and medical devices for approval before they can be sold to the public, monitoring their safety once on the market, and enforcing compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other applicable laws. Beyond these core responsibilities, the FDA also plays a crucial role in regulating tobacco products and advancing public health by helping to speed innovations that make medical products more effective, safer, and more affordable. It provides the public with accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.
