About the FDA

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services responsible for protecting public health. It oversees the safety and effectiveness of food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and other products that impact the health of Americans.

The FDA was officially established in 1906 with the passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act, marking one of the first times the federal government took on the role of regulating consumer goods for safety.

Today, the FDA’s main functions include ensuring that food is safe and properly labeled, evaluating the safety and efficacy of drugs and medical devices, monitoring products after approval, and enforcing regulations.
