Food and Drug Administration

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics, animal foods & feed and veterinary products.

The FDA was empowered by the United States Congress to enforce the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which serves as the primary focus for the Agency; the FDA also enforces other laws, notably Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, many of which are not directly related to food or drugs. These include regulating lasers, cellular phones, condoms and control of disease on products ranging from certain household pets to sperm donation for assisted reproduction.

Savia was a Spanish alternative rock band formed in 2005 by Carlos Escobedo, the lead singer of Sôber, with the help of Alberto Madrid, who was at that time drummer of the same band, but passed died in a car accident. Savia stayed active until year 2009.

History

Carlos Escobedo's idea to form Savia started in 2004 on tour for Sôber's last album: Reddo. Because of Sôber's huge popularity at the time, Carlos Escobedo had the idea to form a new musical project and start over. The group formed in 2005 while Sôber was on hiatus. They decided to call themselves Savia, because, as Carlos Escobeda said in an interview, the definition says it all "that which gives energy".
