Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which regulatory body oversees whey protein products before they reach shelves, given that whey protein powders are dietary supplements in the US.
Option 1: FDA. This is the correct administrative body. In the United States, dietary supplements are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which oversees safety, labeling, and manufacturing practices for supplements, though with different standards than for conventional foods and drugs.
Option 2: USDA. The U.S. Department of Agriculture primarily oversees agricultural products, meat and poultry inspection, and certain farm-related commodities. Dietary supplements are not generally regulated by the USDA, so this option is not correct for overseeing whey protein supplements.
Option 3: World Health Organization. The WHO provides international health guidelines and standards, but it does not regulate or oversee individual dietary supplements in the US market. This makes the option incorrect in the context of U.S. regulatory oversight for supplements.
Option 4: They are no regulating bodies involved in the distribution of over-the-counter supplements. This is inaccurate; in the US, the FDA is involved in regulating dietary supplements, including labeling and safety requirements, so there is a regulating authority beyond no regulation.
