Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Guidelines

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. agency that ensures the safety, efficacy, and security of food, medications, and medical devices. FDA guidelines are rules and standards designed to protect public health by regulating how products are developed, tested, marketed, and labeled. These guidelines help ensure that products are safe to use and accurately represented. For example, they require thorough testing of new drugs before approval and clear labeling of food ingredients. Overall, FDA guidelines promote transparency and safety in the products people rely on daily.
