Which act number provides standards for foods and drugs?

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

Answer: (D)

Standards for foods and drugs are about creating a safety, quality, and labeling framework so that products on the market are safe and honestly described. The act in question builds that framework by setting the rules for what can be sold, how products must be labeled, and what counts as adulteration or misbranding. It also grants the regulatory authority power to register products, inspect producers and outlets, enforce compliance, and impose penalties for violations. Because it directly establishes these standards and the enforcement structure for both foods and drugs, it best fits the question. The other acts cover different topics or narrower areas and don’t provide the same comprehensive standards for foods and drugs.
