Fda.gov is the official website of the United States Food and Drug Administration, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The agency’s primary goals are to regulate the use and distribution of various items, including medicines, cosmetics, food, dietary supplements, and blood products. The site itself is primarily for information on the items which the agency regulates. For example, in the Food section, you can learn about proper food safety, both personal and national, allergens, proper nutritional labeling, etc. Companies can also learn about how to properly package food, import food, additives, and other related subjects. You can search the site using a simple search function, or you can browse according to the first letter of the subject for which you are looking. You can also learn about the FDA itself, its international programs, criminal investigations, and career opportunities.

Fda.gov is a useful resource for anyone looking for information on safe food and medicine and news about recent recalls or health issues. It is also a crucial resource for companies to keep up with new federal regulations about said items. The site’s audience is largely female, educated, adult, and Caucasian, and visitors to the site tend to also go to other government websites, other health news and information websites, and kid-related websites.
