La denominación Administración de Medicamentos y Alimentos es la aconsejada para aludir en español a la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) de los Estados Unidos. [...] El propio Gobierno estadounidense ha creado nombres hispanizados de sus agencias y departamentos, y la adaptación Administración de Medicamentos y Alimentos es la usada por esta entidad encargada, entre otras cosas, de proteger la salud pública mediante la regulación de los medicamentos y el abastecimiento de los alimentos, así como de proveer información precisa a este respecto. Es preferible, por tanto, usar esta denominación que la inglesa Food and Drug Administration. Si, no obstante, se añade como información de referencia aclaratoria la sigla FDA, esta se conserva en su forma original por hallarse ya asentada.
