Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition

The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN ( SIF-san)) is the branch of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that regulates food, dietary supplements, and cosmetics, as opposed to drugs, biologics, medical devices, and radiological products, which also fall under the purview of the FDA. == History == In October 2024, the FDA created Human Foods Program, this is the new agency that transitioned from CFSAN. Many of the responsibilities from those offices were handled by CFSAN were incorporated into the new program, such as preventing food-borne illness, reviewing the safety of chemicals that are used in food, and supporting policies related to diet-related health concerns. This change was intended to modernize how the agency oversees the U.S. Food supply and improve coordination across food safety.
