Biotechnology Regulatory Act

The Biotechnology Regulatory Act establishes guidelines for the safe development and use of biotechnological products, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Enforced primarily by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the act ensures thorough evaluation of these products to protect public health and the environment. It helps manage risks associated with biotechnology while encouraging innovation, ensuring that new products are both safe and beneficial for society. This regulatory framework is essential for balancing technological advancement with safety considerations.
