Activities of FDA’s Division of Nutrition Regarding Cholesterol Oxides

  • Chapter
Book cover Autoxidation in Food and Biological Systems

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as one of the Federal Government’s primary consumer protection agencies, has responsibility for assuring that Americans receive safe, sanitary and properly labelled foods, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices. The Division of Nutrition, Bureau of Foods, shares the major responsibility for safeguarding the nutritional quality and safety of the nation’s food supply.
