FDA advisors declare 'FDA science and mission at risk'

摘要

According to a subcommittee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Science Board, the nation's food supply is at risk, as are the regulatory systems that oversee the nation's drug and device supplies. In a report presented in December, the subcommittee attributed the deficiencies to increased demands on FDA and resources that have not increased in proportion to those demands. Committee members conclude that "this imbalance is imposing a significant risk to the integrity of the food, drug, cosmetic, and device regulatory system, and hence the safety of the public."
