Question

Which option identifies why punishment from the FDA is unlikely in the following scenario?

Christian runs a slaughterhouse, and, upon inspection, his equipment was deemed unsafe.


The FDA only regulates the end product.

Equipment does not fall under a critical violation.

Equipment is regulated by the manufacturer.

The FDA does not regulate meat production.

Answer 1

The FDA does not regulate meat production. Slaughterhouses and meat inspection are handled by USDA (FSIS), so enforcement would come from the USDA rather than the FDA.
