BFAD stands for which government agency?

• A. Bureau of Food and Drugs
• B. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
• C. Bureau of Financial and Development
• D. Bureau of Foreign Affairs and Defense

Answer: (A)

BFAD stands for Bureau of Food and Drugs, the Philippine government agency under the Department of Health that regulates the safety and quality of food, drugs, cosmetics, and related health products. The name itself points to its regulatory scope over what people consume or use, which is why it’s the correct expansion. This agency is different from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, which handles fishery matters under the Department of Agriculture, and the other options don’t correspond to a real agency name in this context. (Note: BFAD was later renamed to the Food and Drug Administration, Philippines, but the abbreviation BFAD is the historical name students commonly encounter.)
