The FDA recently uploaded a new video, “Why Does the FDA Exist?” to their YouTube channel. It’s just a little over 4 minutes, but it gives some interesting insight into how the FDA came into being and why.

About Me
These days, you can also get my help any time through Compliance Advisor.
For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping soap and cosmetic makers get their labels right and comply with the various applicable regulations. I wrote Soap and Cosmetic Labeling, Navigating the Rules and Regs and Good Manufacturing Practices for Soap and Cosmetic Makers (all available from Amazon).
AI Disclosure: Yes, I do use AI – primarily Claude and ChatGPT – to help draft my content. I provide the source material: the research (sometimes AI helps there), the personal stories, the experience, and the judgment about what will actually help you. AI gives me a draft, which I review thoroughly (and usually edit) before it is published. (Any typos are generally mine.)
