This is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's own published history of its own founding and institutional development, hosted on its official website. As an institutional self-account, it is a reliable source for the agency's own account of its regulatory history and mandate. Its limit is that it is written by the agency about itself rather than by an independent historian, so a claim about the more contested aspects of American drug or food regulation history benefits from independent scholarly sources alongside this self-account.

Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The FDA's own published history of its founding, hosted on its official website, is treated at the top tier as the agency's own primary institutional record of its regulatory history, notwithstanding that it is written by the agency about itself rather than by an independent historian. NotesThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration's own history of itself; an institutional self-account, not an independent scholarly history.
