The basic statute under which the federal government regulates foods, drugs, medicals devices and cosmetics is the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (FDCA). There have been numerous amendments to the statute, both expanding and contracting its reach, as well as court decisions that have changed the interpretation of the statutory language. FDA enforces the law through a variety of administrative actions and with the approval and assistance of the Justice Department, through judicial actions.

The agency is empowered to takes actions against products that are either “adulterated” or “misbranded” as defined by FDCA and against companies and individuals who cause products to become adulterated or misbranded. In addition to violations defined in the FDCA, FDA can define and establish requirements that are “binding” and have the full force and effect of law by promulgating regulations which are codified in Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations. FDA takes enforcement actions against noncompliance with the requirements using all appropriate legal means. CCS offers a range of regulatory compliance consulting and submission services including:
