• Questions
• FDA has three basic responsibilities:
– Protect the public health
– Advancing the public health
– Ensuring security of food supply and fostering development of
needed medical products to address public health threats.
• FDA protects 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, tobacco, and products
that emit radiation.
• FDA is over 100 years old!
• How did we get here?
Why do we have the FDA?
1820 – United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Established
create a system of standards and a national formulary
1848 – Congress passes Federal Drug Import Act
requires U.S. Customs Service inspection to stop entry of
adulterated drugs from overseas. Federal legislation recognizes USP as
the official compendium
1862 – Bureau of Chemistry Established
President Lincoln appoints a chemist, Charles M. Wetherill,
to serve in the new Department of Agriculture. The Bureau of Chemistry
is the forerunner of the FDA.
1902 – Harvey Wiley and the “Poison Squad”
Wiley was head of the Bureau of Chemisrty. He studies common
preservatives in food (borax, boric acid, copper sulfate, potassium nitrate,
saccharin, sulfuric acid, benzoic acid and formaldehyde) and their affects
in people.
History of the FDA
1905 – Collier’s Weekly publishes “The Great American
Fraud”
Articles by Samuel Adams on the evils of patent medicine, quackery, and fraud in drugs.
The articles showed how many of these medicines actually harmed the people taking
them.
1906 – Upton Sinclair publishes The Jungle
Sinclair intended the book to show the deplorable conditions of immigrants in the US.
However, most readers were more shocked by the unsanitary conditions he described in
the meat-packing plants of the day.
1906 – FDA is created: Congress passes Pure Food and Drug
Act which is enforced by Bureau of Chemistry through
established USP requirements
Foundational law of the FDAs mission. Prohibits interstate commerce in misbranded and
adulterated foods, drinks and drugs. Many of the provisions of the law were overturned
and loopholes were created – 1911 Supreme Court ruled that provisions only applied to
ingredients. Allowed companies to continue to make false claims about a product’s
effectiveness.
History of the FDA
• Extending control to cosmetics and therapeutic devices.
• Requiring new drugs to be shown safe before marketing.
• Providing that safe tolerances be set for unavoidable poisonous substances.
• Authorizing standards of identity, quality, and fill-of-container for foods.
• Authorizing factory inspections.
• Adding the remedy of court injunctions to the previous penalties of seizures
and prosecutions.
1937 - Elixir of Sulfanilamide
• containing the solvent diethylene glycol (poisonous solvent).
• kills 107 people, many of whom are children.
• dramatizes the need to establish drug safety before marketing and to enact the
pending food and drug law.
1938 - The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act is
passed and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Act contains new provisions:
History of the FDA
1950s/1960s – Thalidomide, a new sleeping pill, is found to have
caused birth defects in thousands of babies born in western Europe.
• News reports on the role of Dr. Frances Kelsey, FDA medical officer; she fought to
keep the drug off the U.S. market. Gave rise to public support for stronger drug
regulation.
Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments passed
• ensures drug efficacy and greater drug safety. For the first time, drug manufacturers
are required to prove to FDA the effectiveness of their products before marketing
them.
1940s/1950s – Various court rulings and amendments to the 1938 FD&C Act
clarified and enhanced enforcement authority of the FDA.
• 1943 - In U.S. v. Dotterweich, the Supreme Court rules that the responsible officials of a corporation, as
well as the corporation itself, may be prosecuted for violations. It need not be proven that the officials
intended, or even knew of, the violations (culpable deniability).
• 1953 - Factory Inspection Amendment clarifies previous law and requires FDA to give manufacturers
written reports of conditions observed during inspections and analyses of factory samples.
History of the FDA
1941 – Sulfathiazole disaster
• Tablets of sulfathiazole were contaminated with phenobarbital
• Let to nearly 300 deaths nationwide
• Prompted FDA to require detailed controls at manufacturer and throughout the industry. Birth
of the modern GMPs
1982 - Tamper-resistant Packing Regulations
• issued by FDA to prevent poisonings such as deaths from cyanide placed in Tylenol capsules.
• The Federal Anti-Tampering Act passed in 1983 makes it a crime to tamper with packaged
consumer products.
1976 - Medical Device Amendments
• passed after the therapeutic disaster in which thousands of women were injured by the Dalkon
Shield intrauterine device (IUD)
• to ensure safety and effectiveness of medical devices, including diagnostic products following a
U.S. Senate finding that faulty medical devices had caused 10,000 injuries, including 731 deaths.
• The amendments require manufacturers to register with FDA and follow quality control
procedures. Some products must have pre-market approval by FDA; others must meet performance
standards before marketing.
1978 – GMPs finalized
The regulations for drugs (21 CFR 210 and 211) and devices (21 CFR 820) became effective to
ensure the safety and efficacy of products.
History of the FDA
1992 – Congress passes Generic Drug Enforcement Act
• Imposes debarment and other penalties for illegal acts involving abbreviated drug applications
• Resulted from bribery/fraud case in which executives at generic drug companies bribed FDA agents.
• Companies tested name brand versions of drugs and submitted those results with their application.
2000s/2010s – Several new laws for regulation of Food/Drugs
• 2002 – Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act
• 2003 – Pediatric Research Equity Act
• 2004 – Food Allergy Labeling and Consumer Protection Act
• 2009 – Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act – gives FDA authority to regulate
tobacco products
• 2011 – Food Safety and Modernization Act
• 2013 – Drug Quality and Security Act – followed outbreak of fungal meningitis from compounded
pharmacy. Creates steps for an electronic and interoperable system to identify and trace certain
prescription drugs throughout the U.S.
1997 – FDA creates Electronic Records Rule
•Requires controls for security and integrity of electronic records (21 CFR 11)
History of the FDA
Role of the FDA
From earlier:
•FDA has three basic responsibilities:
– Protect the public health

– Ensuring security of food supply and fostering development of
needed medical products to address public health threats.
•The FDA accomplishes this mission by using the laws and regulations to
verify that manufacturers are following cGMP.
The FDA has jurisdiction over many items that are
regulated by law.
• Biologics (CBER – Center for Biological Evaluation and Research)
– Biological products
• Blood/Blood Products
• Cellular & Gene Therapy

Products that could cause serious injury/death if they don’t function properly (i.e.,
pacemakers, etc. )

– Oversee radiation safety on non-medical devices that emit electromagnetic
radiation – cell phones, microwave ovens, laser pointers, sunlamps, etc.
