Question

Explain in one paragraph why you think it's critical to understand the purpose of the Food and Drug Administration.

Answer 1

Answer-

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was established in 1906 and is a federal agency responsible for for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human ( including children) and other animal foods.
It does this by overseing a majority of the companies obligations which are involved in food, drugs, animal food, dietary supplements, medical devices, biological products and blood products.

It is also regulating the development of new drugs.

The FDA gives approval to regulated products before they can be sold in the U.S and can recall the products in the market, if necessary, for breach of safety standards and other reasons.
