Office of Inspections and Investigations Also referred to as: OII


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII) is the lead office for all FDA field inspection, investigation, import and emergency response related activities.  OII partners with internal and external agency stakeholders to identify, collect, and evaluate evidence that empowers integrated regulatory decision making. OII inspects regulated products and manufacturers, and reviews imported products offered for entry into the United States. In pursuit of its mission, OII also works with its state, local, tribal, territorial and foreign counterparts.

OII Mission statement

We conduct rigorous, transparent, and science-based inspections and investigations, providing real-time evidence and insight essential in empowering fact-based regulatory decisions to protect public health.
