== The US government does not review or approve the safety and science of all studies listed on clinicaltrials.gov ==

There is now a big exclamation mark, with a disclaimer, on the clinicaltrials.gov website saying, the “US government does not review or approve the safety and science of all studies”

there you have it folks, why do doctors have this unshakable faith in “FDA approval” then? [[User:Steve Brackett|Steve Brackett]] ([[User talk:Steve Brackett|talk]]) 11:40, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

I propose merging Criticism of the Food and Drug Administration with Food and Drug Administration to create a more NPOV article. if the article becomes to long from the merge, we can split it other ways besides (Criticism vs non criticism )Bryce Carmony (talk) 23:09, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This important information, from the FDA website, is missing from the article.
The FDA was transferred from the USDA to the Federal Security Agency in 1940 and to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953, which became the Department of Health and Human Services in 1979.

I severely cut back the Organization section and update it based on the FDA’s website. My main rationale is that there is little need for the deep org information unless you have some information (cited info) to add to a deep org branch — which I did for one of the directors of a deep org branch. I also wanted to try out the {{Tree list}} functionality, and I think this does provide some added attractiveness to the presentation. –User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:50, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few details that would improve this article in a variety of ways. While reading the article I realized that the content of the articles begins with a description of FDA but it does not address the origination of the FDA. A major improvement that I would add to this article is a history section answering questions like; who began FDA and why specifically was it invented? Was the environment being put at risk? or was it just something citizens thought needed to be put in place? This questions are unanswered questions and questions that have not been addressed in the article. Also in the scope and budget section I would recommend that the section expands on who actually regulates the budget and how was the budget originated.

Our article Henry I. Miller states (but does not source) that Miller has worked for FDA in various capacities, and, in particular, that he between 1989 and 1993 was “the founding director of FDA’s Office of Biotechnology”. Similar claims can be found in background presentations for articles written by Miller.

Can anyone tell me more about this office? It is not enumerated in the present FDA section lists in our pages. Does it exist, or did it exist (and, if so, until when); or are the claims in the Miller article possibly not quite correct? If the FDA Office of Biotechnology still exists, then, where does it belong organisatorically to-day? Does it have a web-page? JoergenB (talk) 04:33, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Food and Drug Administration rules prohibit advertising of drugs that have not been fully approved by the FDA

The fact comes from the following source:

https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2021/10/25/fda-rules-have-blocked-covid-19-vaccine-makers-from-advertising-on-tv/

Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:

Additional comments from user: For this reason, manufacturers were prohibited from advertising COVID-19 vaccines that had only been approved under Emergency Use Authorization.

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

I am a current employee of the FDA (non-communications or PR role), thanks for reviewing my contribution.

• What I think should be changed:

The infobox was updated with info about the most recently confirmed commissioner, but not in the starting paragraphs.

−

The FDA is led by the commissioner of food and drugs, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The commissioner reports to the secretary of health and human services. Sara Brenner is the current acting commissioner as of January 24, 2025, following the resignation of Commissioner Robert Califf on January 20, 2025.[5]

+

The FDA is led by the commissioner of food and drugs, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The commissioner reports to the secretary of health and human services. is the current following the 2025.

.

• Why it should be changed:

Update to reflect current commissioner

• References supporting the possible change (format using the “cite” button):

Citation 3 is already cited and could be used here.
