HISTORY OF FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA)
• Food and Drug Act (1906)• Oldest comprehensive consumer protection
agency in the U. S. federal government• Was triggered by serious abuses in the
consumer product marketplace• Created for prevention of misbranded and
adulterated foods, drinks and drugs
Federal Food
and Drug Act
Food Safety is an important Public Health Issue
Each year in the U.S. there are •76 million foodborne illnesses •325,000 hospitalization•5,000 deaths
OVERVIEW OF FDA
An agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services
One of the United States federal executive departments
Responsible for protecting and promoting public health
Regulation and supervision of food safety
FDA’s Mission
Protect public health by assuring the safety and efficiency of:• Human drugs• Biological products• Medical devices and products that emit
radiation• Animal feed and veterinary drugs• Food and cosmetics
Advance public health by facilitating innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer and more affordable
Provide the public with accurate, science-based information on medicines and foods
FOOD In order to regulate the safety of food production,
preservation and distribution, the FDA has broken this aspect down into eleven broad groups.
Seven of these will be highlighted in the subsequent slides.
FOOD SAFETY In order to ensure the safety of food, the FDA has a
whole section and it’s guidelines which contains information pertaining to:
Food Transportation, Outbreaks (CORE Network), Food Safety Modernization Act, Food Safety Programs, Product-Specific Information, Food Allergens, Foodborne illness, Food Contaminants & Adulteration, Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP), Retail Food Protection, and Food Safety Widgets & Apps.
BIOTECHNOLOGY FDA recommends that developers consult with FDA
about bioengineered foods under development. The FDA provides a guidance for submission that these
companies have to follow. Since most bioengineered plants are considered
“regulated articles”, companies are required to meet the regulations of Bioengineered Plants put forth by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (APHIS/USDA)
Last but not the least, for Bioengineered plants, developers have to meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation of pesticidal substances.
FOOD INGREDIENTS & PACKAGING
The main goal here is to ensure proper education of the consumer on the product.
Companies are regulated by the FDA to follow the guidelines in place to ensure the consumer is adequately educated on the products.
Products are labeled to indicate the ingredients used, ensure when and where the packaging is done, safety procedures, and the expiration date of the products.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
FDA monitors the dietary supplement or dietary ingredient manufacturer to make sure they are responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement or ingredient is safe before it is marketed.
This is in accordance with the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).
LABELING & NUTRITION
The FDA has requirements for labeling and nutrition of products under the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic Act and it’s amendments.
Food labeling is required for most prepared foods such as cereals, bread, canned and frozen foods, while labeling is not a requirement for raw produce such as fish, fruits, and vegetables.
FOOD DEFENCE & EMERGENCY RESPONSE
In order to reduce the risk of tampering with food and cosmetic supply, the FDA works with other organizations to guide against malicious, criminal or terrorist actions on the food and cosmetic supply.
This is done using tools and strategies such as: ALERT, FREE-B, See Something Say Something Campaign, Mitigation Strategies Database, Vulnerability Assessment etc.
GUIDANCE, COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY INFORMATION
FDA has made provision for: Food Guidance Documents which represent FDA’s
current thinking on a topic as far as food safety, production, handling, and distribution is concerned.
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) Resources on Compliance, Enforcement, Inspection and
Analysis which helps regulate the rules.
DEVELOPMENT & APPROVAL PROCESS
Access to the safest and most advanced pharmaceutical system in the worldMain consumer watchdog in this system is FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)
Ensures that drugs work correctly and that their health benefits outweigh their known risks
CDER PROCESSING 1. Drug company sends tests to CDER for safety
and effectiveness of drug
2. CDER team reviews the data and proposed labeling
3. If health benefits outweigh the drug's known risks, the drug is approved
Conducts limited research on drug quality, safety, and effectiveness standards.
STAGES OF DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
1) Animal Tests
Must show FDA results of preclinical testing on animals
Future plans for human testing
FDA whether approves at this stage to continue
2) IND (Investigational New Drug) Application
Clinical trials on humans after an IND is reviewed by FDA and a local IRB (Institutional review board)
IRB approves protocol, objective, participants, schedule, medications, dosage, duration of study, etc.
Assures safety of participants
Mandates researchers for protection of patients
3) Phase 1 Testing (P1T) Objective is safety Determine the drug's most frequent side effects Determine drug's metabolization and excretion
process Conducted on healthy volunteers
4) Phase 2 Testing (P2T) Objective is effectiveness Initiate only if P1T don't reveal unacceptable toxicity Obtain preliminary data on effectiveness of drug on
people with the condition Controlled trials, safety evaluation and short-term
side effects are analyzed
STAGES OF DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
5) Phase 3 Testing (P3T)
One of two most common meeting points prior to submission of a new drug application
Initiate only if effectiveness is proven in P2T Gather more data on safety, effectiveness, various
population studies and dosages, etc. 6) Review Meeting
Postmarket requirement and commitment studies are required by sponsor after FDA has approved the product for marketing
FDA gathers more info about product's safety, efficiency and optimal use through this
STAGES OF DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
7) NDA (New Drug Application) Formal step for drug company to propose for FDA's
approval of the product's marketing in the US NDA includes:
All animal data and analysis All human data and analysis Drug's behavior and effects in the body Manufacturing procedure of the product
8) Application Reviewed After NDA submission, FDA has 60 days to decide
whether to review the file. FDA can refuse it if it's incomplete
STAGES OF DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
WHAT IS A COSMETIC?
Articles intended for: Cleansing (except some soap) Beautifying Promoting Attractiveness Altering Appearance
WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF COSMETICS?
Makeup Fragrances Skin Care Shaving Suntan Preparations Oral Hygiene Manicuring Preparations Hair Products
WHAT IS FDA AUTHORITY OVER COSMETICS?
FDA regulates cosmetic labeling under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA).
Cosmetic products and ingredients are NOT subject to FDA premarket approval authority, with the exception of color additives.
Companies and individuals who market cosmetics have the legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their products prior to marketing.
HOW DOES FDA MONITOR THE SAFETY OF COSMETICS?
Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program Inspections Surveys of products Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) expert
panel Consumer complaints (Adverse events
reports) FDA’s own research Research by other organizations
LABELING Important Labeling Terms:
Labeling: refers to all labels and other written, printed, or graphic matter on or accompanying a product.
Principal Display Panel (PDP): part of the label most likely displayed or examined under customary conditions of display for sale.
Information Panel: refers to a panel other than the PDP that can accommodate label information where the consumer is likely to see it.
LABELING Required labeling information:
Principle Display Panel: Identity statement: indicates nature and use of product. Net quantity of contents: weight, measure, and
numerical count or a combination thereof. Information Panel:
Name & place of business Distributor statement: “Manufactured for…” or
“Distributed by…” Material facts: directions for safe use. Warning and caution statements Ingredients
WAYS A COSMETIC CAN BECOME MISBRANDED
• Its labeling is false or misleading• Its label fails to provide required information• Its required label information is not properly
displayed• Its labeling violates requirements of the Poison
Prevention Packaging Act of 1970
WHAT CAN FDA DO IF A COSMETIC
IS NOT SAFE?
FDA is not authorized to require recalls of cosmetics. FDA may take regulatory action if it has
information to support that a cosmetic is adulterated or misbranded.
FDA can issue a public warning in the form of a Consumer Alert
Work with State authorities to embargo product
Product seizure by U.S. Marshals Refuse importation into the U.S. Request that the firm recall product Inspect a firm for violative practices
WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF FDA ACTIONS ON UNSAFE
COSMETICS?
Warning letters safety and labeling violations
Brazilian Blowout
Seizures 12,682 eye lash product applicator tubes containing an drug ingredient
WHAT ARE MEDICAL AND RADIATION-EMITTING DEVICES? Range from simple tongue depressors and
bedpans to complex programmable pacemakers with micro-chip technology and laser surgical devices.
In vitro diagnostic products, such as general purpose lab equipment, reagents, and test kits, which may include monoclonal antibody technology.
Electronic radiation-emitting products Diagnostic ultrasound products X-ray machines Medical lasers Cell phones Microwaves
WHAT IS FDA AUTHORITY OVER MEDICAL AND RADIATION-
EMITTING DEVICES?
FDA responsible for the premarket approval of all medical devices, as well as overseeing the manufacturing, performance and safety of these devices.
FDA also oversees the safety performance of non-medical devices that emit certain types of electromagnetic radiation.
MEDICAL DEVICE SAFETY FDA monitors reports of adverse events and
other problems with medical devices and alerts health professionals and the public when needed to ensure proper use of devices and the health and safety of patients
FDA website contains lists of recent medical device recalls and other FDA safety communications
FDA-CLEARED VS. FDA-APPROVED
Clearance requests are for medical devices that prove they are "substantially equivalent" to the predicate devices already on the market.
Approved requests are for items that are new or substantially different and need to demonstrate "safety and efficacy.”
