Trade Agreements and Related ActivitiesThe rules of international trade have changed significantly. Recent international trade agreements have introduced new requirements that affect how food and cosmetic products are regulated and inspected. FDA is also challenged by increasing expectations of its role in trade issues. U.S. trade agencies, food and cosmetic industries, and foreign governments now expect FDA, and CFSAN as the principal U.S. regulatory authority for foods and cosmetics, to assume more direct responsibility for attesting to the safety, quality, and label attributes of foods and cosmetics produced and exported from the United States.
