How does the FDA handle toxicological concerns related to food safety?
The FDA's CFSAN is responsible for ensuring food safety through toxicological assessments of potential contaminants, additives, and packaging materials. The FDA sets tolerances for pesticide residues, evaluates food additives through a rigorous safety assessment process, and monitors food products for harmful substances. The agency's work in food safety toxicology extends to dietary supplements, where it evaluates the safety and labeling of these products to protect consumers.
