Congress Passes Groundbreaking FDA Modernization Act 2.0

Congress passed the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, removing the mandate for animal tests for new drugs and giving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to consider superior, non-animal methods instead of relying on deadly, scientifically flawed animal tests. This historic change, enacted into law when President Joe Biden signed the bill a few days later, mirrors a request that PETA scientists had made of the FDA in 2020. PETA and many partner organizations worked hard for this victory, which wouldn’t have been possible without supporters’ e-mails and calls to members of Congress urging them to support the bill.
