Regulatory Agencies (e.g., FDA)

Regulatory agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, are government organizations responsible for overseeing the safety and effectiveness of products like food, drugs, and medical devices. They create rules and guidelines to protect public health, conduct inspections, and review new products before they reach the market. Their goal is to ensure that products are safe for consumers and that companies adhere to regulations. This helps prevent harmful products from being sold and promotes confidence in the products we use daily.
