Synopsis

This book is a detailed look into the laws regulating food, drugs, and cosmetics in the United States. The author starts by providing a brief history of food and drug laws in the US, beginning with the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, and discusses how these laws have evolved through subsequent amendments, including the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. The book continues by thoroughly explaining each section of the current law, including various provisions on adulteration, misbranding, and food additives. It also gives special consideration to topics like labeling, drugs that require a prescription, color additives, new drugs, and cosmetics. In addition to the legal analysis, the author discusses the role of the FDA in administering the law and the enforcement powers it has. This book is intended to provide an understanding of how food, drug, and cosmetic laws impact the food and drug supply in the United States and, thus, how these laws affect everyday lives.
