Explanation:

The Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency of the United States that protects and promotes public health through supervision and regulation of food, drugs, medication, vaccines, among others. The article excerpt indicates that the FDA does meet its supervisory role as it found a bacteria in the jars of peanut butter made by PBJ industries, and it also meets its regulatory role of protecting consumers, ensuring product safety and maintaining public health standards because once it identified the presence of the Salmonella, which causes food poising and other diseases, it issued a recall, suggesting that it is not tolerable the presence of this bacteria in a product.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
