"1990 Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA)is passed. It requires all packaged foods to bear nutrition labeling and all health claims for foods to be consistent with terms defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. As a concession to food manufacturers, the FDA authorizes some health claims for foods. The food ingredient panel, serving sizes, and terms such as "low fat" and "light" are standardized. This is pretty much the nutrition label as we know it today."

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was established by President Richard Nixon through an Executive Order in July of 1973.

FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.

Yes there are a few supplements that are FDA approved, however there are several types of steroids that are not approved, and the companies have received warnings from the FDA about the possible side effects from using them.

it stands for "drug" as in medicines....Food & Drug Administration

Dr. Suzette H. Lazo took office as Acting Director (director general) in December 2010.

There are many different techniques that have been described as "cloning".

* animal cloning: The FDA has tested cattle, swine, and goat clones, and in 2008 found that "food derived from these sources is no different from food derived from conventionally bred animals". (See links). This ends the 2001 moratorium.

* vegetative reproduction occurs naturally in some plants, and people have used it for hundreds of years to propagate a variety of plants. For example, most cultivated bananas lack seeds and so most cultivated banana trees are clones. Such propagation has always been approved by the FDA.

* "molecular cloning", "DNA cloning", typically using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), is a standard part of DNA profiling used to identify a person (forensic testing) or close relationships (paternity testing).

* therapeutic human cloning: illegal in some countries and some of the United States.

* reproductive human cloning: illegal in many countries and most of the United States.

The FDA can withdraw vitamins (and other supplements and foods) only when danger has been proven. What you're likely thinking of is the way the FDA regulates drugs. The difference can be subtle: a claim to cure a specific disease or treat a certain condition makes something a drug instead of a supplement. For example, if your pill says it will "improve heart function," it's considered a supplement, but if it says "improve hypertension," it's considered a drug. DRUGs are highly regulated by the FDA and often take years, 100's of millions of dollars in trials to prove safety and efficacy, and literally truckloads of paperwork. You or I could sell a SUPPLEMENT we made in our garage tomorrow and the FDA would have no legal power to regulate us. As I see it.

UPDATE:

FDA's attitude towards and regulations covering dietary supplements have changed in recent years. They definitely do regulate dietary supplements [DS] and one can look up many Warning Letters to DS firms. Check out "21 CFR 111" for the current regulations. Some of the requirements treat DS more like drugs, although they come under CFSAN (Center for Food Safety and Nutrition).

Do not try making DS in your garage. FDA has the authority to shut you down.

It would depend on what you want to sue them for. If there was a product which had damaged you despite being "FDA approved", you end up suing the company which produced the harmful substance because to gain FDA approval, the company must send in their own research (like the result from animal and human clinical tests using their product). Thus if they send in false information about their product, and it gains FDA approval, but ends up being extremely detrimental to your health, it is the fault of the company for submitting false information to the FDA. However, there was a case where the FDA was sued for failing to regulate Bisphenol-A (which was pretty much found in everything but was extremely bad for the human body, especially children). Anyways to answer your question as to whether or not you can sue the FDA, the answer is that while possible, it would be highly difficult thanks to Sovereign Immunity, which means the government entity can't be sued unless the government gives permission for you to do so.

The FDA is an agency of the Dept. of Health and Human Health Services. It is one of the U.S. Federal Executive Departments. The FDA is led by a Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and is appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and "over the counter" medications, vaccines, bio-pharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics.

Nu Skin is likely FDA exempt. If the manufacturer can demonstrate that the substance does not risk harm to those using it, it can be judged Exempt from FDA approval or regulation.

Food labels are governed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues guidelines about putting nutrients or health claims on a food label.

It must have fewer than 0.5 milligrams of cholesterol and 2 grams of fat or less of saturated fat per serving.

Simply, food is labeled so that the person who buys it knows what they are buying.

the approval of the new drug application by the fda allows for

Poorly! When a drug company comes up with a new drug many studies and trials must be done on the drug first and then passed by the FDA. Lately it appears the FDA is not doing their job!

Because the fda know and most people know that they are safe.
