However, the FDA regulates the safety and labeling of the ingredients used in beverages, as well as the manufacturing and distribution practices of the companies that produce them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, certain types of drinks, such as dietary supplements or energy drinks, may be subject to specific FDA regulations and restrictions regarding their ingredients and labeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, while drinks do not require FDA approval before being sold, they must comply with FDA regulations and standards to ensure their safety for consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_FDA_recognize_caffeine_as_a_drug\"><\/span>Does the FDA recognize caffeine as a drug?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes caffeine as a drug. Caffeine is classified as both a drug and a food additive by the FDA, as it is widely consumed in various forms, including coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks, for its stimulant properties.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA regulates caffeine in various ways, including setting guidelines for its safe use in food and beverages, monitoring its presence in dietary supplements, and establishing labeling requirements to inform consumers about caffeine content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_did_FDA_approve_caffeine\"><\/span>When did FDA approve caffeine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caffeine is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an ingredient in both over-the-counter and prescription drugs. It is subject to regulatory oversight under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&amp;C Act). This recognition is due to caffeine&rsquo;s use in various medical products and its classification as a central nervous system stimulant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA&rsquo;s recognition of caffeine as an ingredient in drugs and its inclusion in the FD&amp;C Act allows the agency to regulate its use in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements to ensure safety and efficacy. While caffeine is also widely consumed in foods and beverages, its regulation in those contexts falls under the FDA&rsquo;s authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In conclusion, energy drinks don&rsquo;t really need any approval from the FDA<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, energy drink companies need to label appropriately and add ingredients that the FDA approves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, there&rsquo;s no room to add any harmful ingredients to energy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it would help if you didn&rsquo;t consume too many energy drinks. This is because ingredients like sugar and caffeine in extreme amounts can lead to many health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, it&rsquo;s a good idea to check the nutrition facts before buying energy drinks. This way, you can keep an eye on your caffeine and sugar consumption regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/best-energy-drinks-for-teenagers\/\">Best Energy Drinks For Teenagers (Are There Any?)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/does-guru-energy-drink-actually-work\/\">Does Guru Energy Drink Actually Work?
