Question

Which item has not been tested by the Food and Drug Administration for safety and effectiveness?
A) aspirin

Accepted Answer

Multivitamins are classified as dietary supplements and are therefore regulated differently than drugs by the FDA. They are not required to undergo the same safety and effectiveness testing as drugs before being sold on the market.
