title: The role of the Food and Drug Administration in the regulation of the products of recombinant DNA technology.
abstract: We emphasize again that the FDA will regulate each product according to the relevant statute and will apply those quality assurance standards necessary to assure safety for foods, and safety and efficacy for other products. We are also sensitive to continuing public concern about the environmental consequences of this technology. What-ever the outcome of our review, the FDA will attempt to regulate responsibly with appropriate concern for our two major constituencies--the public and the industry.
