As the outbreaks occurred, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) collaborated with other federal agencies and health officials in investigating the outbreaks to gather information with people who got sick to see what could possibly prevented the illness. They will also supervise closely to determine if all restaurants are safe and can be…

The FDA, esatblished in 1906, regulates the safety and effectiveness of food, drugs, and cosmetics. The EEOC, established in 1964, regulates the hiring, firing, and promotion of workers.

The CPSC, established in 1972 as well, regulates the safety of consumer products (McConnell, Brue, Flynn, 2011, pg.…

On the website intelligence squared, doctors and professors hold debates about real world issues. One such issue is “The FDA’s caution is hazardous to our health." Two teams of two people debated the issue. Arguing that the FDA’s caution is hazardous were Dr. Scott Gottlieb and Peter Huber. They believed that the FDA is performing too many tests that take too long in the name of statistics. They said that the FDA should release medication that could save lives as early as possible and let doctors decide if the medication will benefit their patients. Arguing that the FDA’s caution is not hazardous were Dr. Jerry Avorn and Dr. David Challoner. They believed that the FDA should continue with their testing methods if not test more. They said that…
It wouldn't make sense for the FDA to be in charge of the safety and labeling of all of our food except for GMO-free foods. We shouldn't be splitting the responsibility for food safety and labeling between different agencies. It will only cause a lot of confusion for everyone. When something goes wrong, we won't know who's responsible. If the FDA is in charge when a recall or something else happens, then there's one agency people can look to for answers. When you have 50 different "agencies" regulating safety and labeling then who's to blame or going to get the information out about a recall? The states the food was…
As Joseph Crowley once said, “Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA's actions”. Such thoughts contribute to the notion of how the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in need of reform. When Americans go to the pharmacy, drug store, or any other place in order to purchase medications, they expect to receive quality products. The organization known as the FDA has been put in charge of keeping the public healthy, yet evidence from the past shows this is not the case. With repeated drug recalls, the FDA has lost almost all of its credibility and dependability, and it must be reformed through the introduction of a new administration to work alongside the FDA in order to stop some mistakes from reoccurring. With such a solution, the FDA can become what it was initially intended to be.…

Public health should be the priority so I do believe that steps should be taken. Developing countries may not have the same standard of health safeguards as developed ones. An international standard would certainly help this. How things are stored can also help. It also requires better education of workers to establish when they are effectively too ill to work because of the risk of transferring diseases. It is not always clear and workers can prioritise their own well being over those across a border they won't meet. Preservation of food without using chemicals would be preferable to with them and can be more effective. I have heard of picked apples being in storage for up to a year in the USA, coming out just as fresh as they went in. Infrastructure…
The FDA is an agency under the health and human services an arm of government institution headquarters in Washington DC. The agency is the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency.
