ABSTRACT

II. THE DELANEY ANTICANCER CLAUSES IN THE FDC ACT 568

III. FDA ENFORCEMENT AGAINST CARCINOGENIC COSMETIC INGREDIENTS

IV. FUTURE FDA POLICY

Regulation of potential or proven carcinogens has increasingly been a major focus not just of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but indeed of several government agencies. Moreover, because cancer is our most feared disease, these regulatory activities have achieved widespread national interest. This chapter therefore can only highlight important landmarks in the development of public policy on cancer, and particularly those that involve cosmetic indredients.
