Description:
Health Canada’s Health Products and Food Branch has a mandate of “minimizing health risk factors to Canadians while maximizing the safety provided by the regulatory system for health products”. The FDA’s mandate is “protecting the public health by assuring that… human and veterinary drugs, and vaccines and other biological products and medical devices intended for human use are safe and effective”. These are similar goals: protect the public by minimizing risks and maximizing safety and effectiveness of foods and drugs. Yet despite being borne from similar mission statements, these organizations behave very differently.
