U.S. Food and Drug Administration

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (also known as FDA or USFDA) is a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services.
==History==
Up until the 20th century, there were barely any federal laws regulating the contents of domestically produced food and pharmacy products. A division of the DHHS began investigating the items and conducting research of the misbranding of foods.
In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 into law, which was also known as the "Wiley Act", anmed after its chief advocate, Harvey Washington Wiley, who had done a lot of research with the DHHS division. In the 1930s, journalists began mounting a campaign for stronger regulatory authority.
In 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act into law. The law significantly increased federal regulatory authority over drugs by mandating a review of the safety of all new drugs, as well as banning false therapeutic claims in drug labeling without requiring that the FDA prove intent.
