About the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the U.S. Government
agency that oversees most foods and medical products. Its job is
to make sure that:
- food is safe, healthy, and clean
- medicines and medical devices are reasonably safe and effective
- cosmetic products are safe
- animal foods and drugs are safe
- food and medical products have proper labels
FDA is organized into Centers which are responsible for each type
of product. Select from the list below to go to a Center's home
