Through the FDA, it can only be said that it meets the food safety level requirements of the United States. However, China has the product quality requirements of China, and it still needs QS certification in China.
FDA has great influence in the United States and even the world, and is known as "the patron saint of American health".
Drug dealers and food vendors all over the world love and fear it, and its reputation and professional standards have won the trust of many experts and the general public. While providing good protection, its strict testing and evaluation has also caused many drug dealers and food dealers to criticize it for hindering invention and innovation, which is the biggest obstacle to prevent people from obtaining specific drugs, and lobbying Congress to reduce the authority of FDA, but this has not affected the sacred protection and performance of its mission and responsibility. Today, FDA has become a golden shield in the hearts of global food and drug consumers.
Extended data:
FDA supervises and manages cosmetics on the American market. For cosmetics exported to the United States, FDA will conduct random inspection before entering the customs. For unqualified products, owners can have the opportunity to hear complaints before the FDA. If the FDA has conclusive evidence, the product will be returned to the original owner or destroyed on the spot, and the cost of destruction or return will be borne by the original owner.
The FDA is worried about the safety of products and the misleading of consumers by bad manufacturers. The FDA has a complete set of certification procedures, and has different regulations on cosmetics used in different parts of the human body. No known harmful substances can appear in cosmetic ingredients, and misleading labels must be corrected when entering the United States.
FDA advocates self-discipline of manufacturers. If the manufacturer has a good export record in the FDA, the spot check can be less and faster. If manufacturers have a continuous record of violations, it will be difficult for them to deal with the FDA in the future.
In the United States, the legal basis for the management of cosmetics is mainly the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA), the Good Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) and other applicable laws and regulations.
Section 80 1 of FDCA authorizes the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to inspect cosmetics entering the United States through the US Customs. Inspection can be carried out before entry or after arrival at importers and middlemen. The importer/middleman submits a copy of the customs declaration documents to the US Customs and submits an invoice for each customs declaration to the US Food and Drug Administration. US Customs and FDA classify customs declaration documents to determine the procedures that need FDA to implement laws and regulations. After receiving the customs declaration documents, the initial inspection of imported products is filing review.
By reviewing the records of cosmetics, one of the following three decisions will be made:
1.？ Publish in this batch
2.？ Automatic seizure of this batch
3.？ Pass the dock inspection or sampling inspection.
(1) For cosmetics, dock inspection basically includes the label inspection required for mandatory labeling to determine whether the label of cosmetics contains or lists the following contents:
Products shall be labeled with ingredients, prohibited ingredients, English labels, pigments that are not allowed to be used, warning instructions required by laws and regulations, and anti-interference packaging that meets the requirements of Section 2 1CFR700.25.
(2) Other mandatory label information:
Such as the name and address of the manufacturer, the name and address of the packer or distributor, the product name, the announcement of the net content of the contents, etc.
(3) Inspectors who carry out import inspection may conduct dock inspection or take samples of all imported products, multiple batches or single series of products. Sampling usually includes physical collection or document summary of products for subsequent inspection by FDA regional laboratories. Whenever the FDA takes a sample, it will always provide a sampling notice to the owner or underwriter. The inspection may include pigment analysis, dirt analysis, microbial analysis or chemical pollution analysis. The inspection can also review the label or label making to determine whether it meets the requirements of the Cosmetic Label Making Regulations or whether there is a curative effect or a drug statement.
