FDA crackdown on illegal products.
During 2003, the Food and Drug Administration took significant strides to address the growing threat of illegal drugs and false health claims related to dietary supplements. "Our major priority is to continue fostering the legitimate manufacture, sale and use of FDA-regulated products while maintaining a zero-tolerance approach to illegal practices," says John Taylor, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "We're working to allocate resources in a way that maximizes our impact on public health."
