U.S. Food and Drug Administration

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. It is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human drugs, animal drugs, medical devices, food supply, cosmetics products in interstate commerce. The FDA also oversees other mandates such as radiation-emitting electronic products including x-ray machines used in healthcare settings. The FDA’s oversight includes regulation at both state and federal levels while working closely with its counterparts around the world to ensure international standards are met when exporting American manufactured goods overseas.

Originally established as the U.S Bureau of Chemistry in 1862 under President Abraham Lincoln’s administration it was later reorganized into what would become known today as “the FDA” under President Theodore Roosevelt’s leadership beginning June 30th 1906 after signing legislation passed earlier that day by Congress titled “Food and Drugs Act”. This act made it illegal to sell mislabeled or otherwise adulterated foods, beverages medicines etc across America thus creating what we now know today as product labeling laws enforced throughout America & worldwide which provide consumers with detailed information about ingredients contained within an item before purchase along with expiration dates & nutritional facts where applicable among other things..

Today USFDA has 27 regional offices located all over USA from New York City down through Miami Florida up towards Seattle Washington plus 14 foreign ones scattered geographically throughout Europe Asia South America & Australia/Oceania just to name a few examples each one covering different areas like research development compliance policy enforcement etc; making sure companies adhere strictly to their guidelines during production processes amongst many other tasks too numerous to list here individually but not limited thereto either…In addition they have certain divisions dedicated exclusively towards monitoring specific industries ranging from tobacco alcohol pharmaceuticals veterinary medicine products dietary supplements biologics blood donations vaccines infant formula milk powder seafood items nanotechnology even spices!
