Final answer:
The liability for a violation of the Louisiana State Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act typically lies with the corporation rather than the individual employee responsible for the violation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A violation of the Louisiana State Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by an individual working for a corporation is generally the liability of the corporation itself. The reason for this is that corporations are usually held responsible for the actions of their employees when those actions are part of their employment duties. The laws enforced, such as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by the FDA, aim to ensure the purity, effectiveness, and truthful labeling of products including food, drugs, and cosmetics. Inspections are part of the FDA's enforcement strategy, including the production and shipment of these products. The FDA not only enforces the FD&C Act but also other laws like Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, which cover diverse areas from electronics to disease control on various products.
