USA - Food Products Regulations in the United States
USA
Jun 28, 2024
The United States has three federal and two state governmental organizations that are in control of food safety within the United States: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state Departments of Public Health, and state Departments of Agriculture. These organizations focus on the production and distribution of food, making sure all food distributed to retail stores, restaurants, and consumers is safe, without contamination from foodborne illness.
The current food safety laws are enforced by the FDA and FSIS. The FDA regulates all food manufactured in the United States, with the exception of the meat, poultry, and egg products that are regulated by FSIS.
