The F.D.A. has the role for protecting the health of the public and establishing the correct food production.

The United States Food and Drug Administration is the government agency responsible for regulating food, dietary supplements, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, biologics and blood products in the United States. In the case of food supplements , the F.D.A. does almost nothing to ensure that dietary supplements work as advertised. It is only when supplements are proved to be unsafe or to contain regulated substances can the agency take action.

One aspect of its jurisdiction over food is regulation of the content of health claims on food labels.

The F.D.A.’s role for drugs is very complicated. In most cases, the F.D.A. demands that manufacturers seeking to sell drugs in the United States, either over the counter or prescription, prove that they’re safe and effective.
