REPORT TO THE CONGRESS


                                               LM102757


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES








Food And Drug Administration's

Program For Regulating Imported

Products Needs Improving


Department of Health,* Education, and Welfare  ,'4t1 --


Department ot the I reasury


Lack of information on products entering the
United States limits the effectiveness of the
Food and Drug Administration's efforts to
regulate imported products before they are
sold to the American public. Without such
data the agency cannot determine how effec-
tive its import surveillance is; it cannot assess
the extent that imports may be violating laws
or regulations; and it has no assurance that all
imported products are inspected periodically.
Given FDA's limited coverage of imported
products at the various U.S. ports of entry,
additional surveillance measures are needed,
particularly against those imported products
which continually violate its regulations.
