Question: Food and Drug Administration.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensures that food, cosmetics, drugs, and medical devices are safe and effective. It also ensures that these products are honestly, accurately, and informatively represented to the public with proper labeling. Advertisers can be prosecuted for false labeling. Special labeling is required for products that are considered dangerous or hazardous, such as household cleaners and medications. Many food, drug, and cosmetic advertisements make claims about all natural ingredients, rapid weight loss, hair growth, or youngerlooking skin. If these claims cannot be substantiated, the FDA will work with the FTC to put a stop to these violations.

In addition, the FDA has the authority to regulate the ingredients in tobacco products and the way they are distributed, sold, and marketed. For example, the FDA has banned tobacco companies from sponsoring sporting and entertainment events and has outlawed free cigarette samples. Currently, the FDA is closely monitoring the fast food industry.
