China Food and Drug Administration

The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) is a government agency responsible for regulating food, drugs, medical devices, and healthcare products in China. Its role is to ensure these products are safe, effective, and meet quality standards. CFDA oversees the approval, manufacturing, and distribution processes, conducts inspections, and enforces laws to protect public health. It works to prevent counterfeit or substandard products from reaching consumers and promotes innovation while maintaining safety. Essentially, CFDA acts as China's health and safety watchdog for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
