FDA Nondiscrimination Notice

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. FDA does not exclude people or treat them differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.

FDA:

    • Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats)

    • Qualified interpreters

If you need these services, contact FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
