There are numerous federal regulations concerning the manufacturing of cars.
- WalterBright 9y agoConforming to regulations are not the same thing as getting approvals/certification.
- selectodude 9y agoYour car needs to be certified to not spew shit everywhere in the same way your drug needs to be certified to not harm people who take it. For obvious reasons, one is far more expensive to test and certify.
- WalterBright 9y agoIs the food in your local supermarket certified to not harm people to eat it? It's regulated, and the FDA can inspect to verify compliance with regulations, but suppliers do not have to get approval from the FDA to ship.
- AstralStorm 9y agoThe problem here is the scale of harm and manufacturing of inert or ineffective products, not even too mention harmful ones. This is why every formulation has to be approved. GMP etc. Requirements have been added after some scandals with tainted stuffs making people sick instead of better. This would be not compared to mom and pop food stand but a big supermarket chain or food manufacturer.
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoActually quite a lot of food is inspected by the USDA.
- WalterBright 9y agoThat's right. But the point is you do not have to send food products to the USDA for approval prior to selling them.
