Answer 1

D) Because the manufacturer is not required to provide scientific evidence to the FDA, this statement may not be accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vitamin supplement manufacturers are not required to provide scientific evidence to the FDA, so the labeling information for these products may not be accurate.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services that aims to protect the public health of the population by regulating and overseeing all production of medical and sanitary products used in humans and animals.
