Mainly in the food, pharmaceutical industries and in medical technology the demands and requirements for security, process safety and exact risk assessment are especially high. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) imposes strict guidelines to protect the customer.
These hurdles have to be safely managed not only by manufacturing businesses in these industries, but also by the respective suppliers who want to supply into these segments in the U.S. market. The mission of the FDA is to protect public health. The FDA monitors the safety and effectiveness for human, veterinary, biological or medical and food use. This is the case for all product in these categories that are produced in the U.S. or imported to the US.
