The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) protects public health by regulating the safety of food, prescription drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and tobacco products. FDA offices and district laboratories conduct inspections, investigate complaints, and enforce federal regulations affecting products used by virtually every American.

There are 52 states with FDA locations across the United States. The FDA oversees products accounting for about 20 cents of every dollar spent by U.S. consumers, including $2.7 trillion worth of goods annually.
