The US Food and Drug Administration’s database of publicly available inspection information has officially launched. The Inspections Database provides information on the compliance status of regulated firms and facilities that must comply with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Inspection data is classified according to individual firms’ compliance status. Inspection results, from least to most serious, are indicated either as No Action Indicated (NAI), Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) or Official Action Indicated (OAI).
