Homonym: FD&C (Dyes)
FD&C stands for "Food, Drug, and Cosmetic," which refers to the regulatory framework established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This framework ensures that products in these categories are safe, effective, and properly labeled for consumer use. The FD&C Act was enacted in 1938 and has undergone several amendments to enhance consumer protection.
The FD&C Act covers a wide range of products, including food additives, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It sets standards for manufacturing, labeling, and marketing to prevent misleading claims and ensure public safety. Compliance with these regulations is essential for companies to sell their products in the United States.
