Executive Summary
FDA "acted within its statutory authority" by "inspecting, inventorying and seeking to verify any voluntary compliance activities" undertaken by the Arlington, Tex.-based firm Stevita, the agency says in an April 9 document. FDA's "Factual and Legal Analysis of Issues" responds to a citizen petition submitted July 1 regarding actions allegedly taken by the agency with regard to certain books sold by Stevita ("The Tan Sheet" July 6, 1998, In Brief).
