Rationale 1: The Public Health Service Act of 1944 covers many health issues, including biological products and the control of communicable diseases.
Rationale 2: The FDA Modernization Act is the largest reform effort of the drug review process since 1938.
Rationale 3: The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, passed in 1938, prevents the marketing of drugs that have not been thoroughly tested prior to marketing. Drug companies are required to prove the safety and efficacy of any drug before it can be sold in the United States.
Rationale 4: The Pure Food and Drug Act gives the government power to control the labeling of medicine.
