Food and Drug Regulations are laws and guidelines established to ensure the safety, quality, and effectiveness of food and pharmaceutical products. These regulations are enforced by government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, which evaluates new products before they can be sold to the public. The aim is to protect consumers from harmful substances and misleading claims.
These regulations cover various aspects, including the labeling of products, manufacturing practices, and clinical trials for new drugs. They also require companies to report any adverse effects associated with their products, ensuring ongoing safety monitoring. Compliance with these regulations is essential for public health.
