FDA stands for?

• A. Food and Drug Association
• B. Federal Drug Administration
• C. Food and Drug Administration
• D. Food Distribution Agency

Answer: (C)

Understanding common agency names helps you interpret safety and regulatory guidance in livestock work. FDA stands for Food and Drug Administration. This is the United States federal agency responsible for protecting public health by regulating foods, drugs, medical devices, vaccines, cosmetics, and more. The correct term uses “Administration” in its name; alternatives swap in “Association” or “Federal” or replace “Food” with something else, which isn’t the official designation. For example, “Food and Drug Association” would not be the official agency, and “Federal Drug Administration” changes the wording and isn’t the official name, while “Food Distribution Agency” describes something unrelated to regulatory oversight. In practice, you’ll see FDA approvals and safety guidelines affecting veterinary medicines and feed additives in livestock production.
