Criminal Investigations

In 1991, The FDA Commissioner announced the establishment of an Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) within FDA. This law enforcement office was empowered to conduct and coordinate criminal investigations of violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the Federal Anti-Tampering Act (FATA), other related acts, and applicable violations of United States Code 18 (Crimes and Criminal Procedures).
