U.S. Food and Drug Administration
FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy,and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation, and by regulating the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products.FDA is also responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer, and more affordable; and helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines, and to reduce tobacco use to improve health.
"Today we recognize that to successfully protect U.S. public health, we must think, act, and engage globally. Our interests must be broader than simply those within our own borders." said Margaret Hamburg, FDA Commissioner
