RE PORT BY THE                                             RELEASED


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES






FDA's Regulation Of Gentian Violet Appears

Reasonable




The Food and Drug Administration has not
approved the use of gentian violet as a food
additive or as an animal drug. GAO found no
indication that FDA's position was unreason-
able or that regulatory actions taken by FDA
were improper. In 9 of 10 cases where FDA
regulatory actions were challenged in court,
the courts agreed with FDA's position on the
use of gentian violet for veterinary purposes.

GAO also reviewed allegations of FDA harass-
ment of three firms that have sold or request-
ed FDA approval to sell veterinary products
containing gentian violet. No evidence was
found to substantiate these charges.
