The FDA Labeling Procedures Are Designed to Keep Us Informed and Safe
Business March 17th. 2010, 5:52amWhen I heard about some new health and diet aid supplements that were on the market in Europe but not yet here, I wondered why we are always the last ones to avail ourselves of new break-through products and medicines. Then I thought about the times that food or drug items have made it to our markets without proper testing and people have died as a result. I guess I would rather that we adhere to our strict FDA Labeling procedures than to just let anything show up on our grocery and pharmacy store shelves. Keeping ourselves safe is as valuable as having access to new and revolutionary products. I guess we just need to find the healthy balance between the two.
