Thai FDA (Thailand Food and Drug Administration)

Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration, commonly known as Thai FDA, is the national regulatory authority responsible for protecting public health and ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of health-related products, including foods, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, herbal products, narcotics, psychotropic substances, hazardous chemicals, and volatile substances. The agency operates under the Ministry of Public Health and is supported by expert committees covering specialties such as medical devices, drugs, food, and cosmetics.  

The Thai FDA has comprehensive regulatory oversight throughout the product lifecycle. Pre-market responsibilities include evaluating product safety, effectiveness, and quality prior to authorizing market entry. The agency manages post-market vigilance, which includes monitoring adverse events, coordinating recalls, and conducting inspections to enforce compliance. The Thai FDA also oversees the licensing of establishments and dealers, supervises the import and export of regulated goods, regulates product labelling and advertising, and maintains one-stop service centers to streamline regulatory interactions across product categories.
