FDA’s Centennial year is an ideal time to both celebrate and connect with the public.

As a result, FDA is partnering with Potomac Pedalers Touring Club (PPTC) in their annual Historic Back Roads Tour to be held on September 17, 2006, in Berryville, Virginia.  There will be cycling tours of 13, 25, 50, 62, and 100 miles to celebrate FDA’s Centennial.

This will be an exciting public opportunity for FDA cyclists and the public.

Celebrating the 100 Years

On June 20, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passage of its founding law, the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act.

The Centennial is a major milestone in FDA's celebrated history and the enactment of the 1906 law transformed FDA into a scientific regulatory agency, making it the oldest consumer protection agency in the nation. The Centennial year is one during which FDA and the entire country can take pride in and reflect on the richness of FDA's history.
