What does FDA regulate?

• A. Shelled eggs, bottled water, pet/livestock foods, veterinary drugs, infant formula, dietary supplements.
• B. Processed egg products.
• C. Raw meat/poultry.
• D. Slaughter operations.

Answer: (A)

FDA oversees a broad set of products that affect public health, especially foods and medicines not tied to meat, poultry, or their processed products. This includes shelled eggs and bottled water, as well as foods for pets and livestock, veterinary medicines, infant formula, and dietary supplements. In practice, the FDA's reach covers these items to ensure safety, labeling, and proper use. By contrast, meat and poultry products, processed egg products, and slaughter operations are generally regulated by USDA agencies, which is why those categories don’t appear in the list of items regulated by FDA.
