Description

Barry Leonard (ed.). To protect consumers from unsafe, ineffective, & mislabeled products, the FDA tests thousands of products annually in its labs for possible violations of federal laws. The operating costs for these 18 field labs in FY ‘95 were $17 million. FDA developed a 20-year plan to consolidate its field labs; the plan calls for closing several labs & building new ones, resulting in 5 “mega-labs” & 4 special-purpose labs. This report profiles this plan, focusing on the projected cost savings; projected operational efficiencies; & site selection criteria.
