An act to provide standards for foods and drugs and to provide penalties for violations of the same.

• A. RA 1655
• B. RA 166
• C. RA 5455
• D. RA 6136

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is recognizing the Philippine law that sets official standards for foods and drugs and prescribes penalties for violations. This act was designed to establish the standards that foods and drugs must meet and to specify penalties for those who violate them. It created the regulatory framework for quality control, labeling, and enforcement by the agency responsible for overseeing food and drug safety, helping to protect public health. The description matches this act’s purpose exactly, since it articulates both the standard-setting role and the penalties for noncompliance. In practice, it would cover things like ensuring products meet safety and labeling requirements and that violators can be sanctioned, such as through fines or other penalties. The other acts regulate different topics or came later, so they don’t align as closely with the stated purpose.
