The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates everything under the sun: food and drugs (of course), medical devices, vaccinations, the veterinary field, cosmetics, "radiation-emitting products," and tobacco. As part of the agency's work, they've provided "everything you'll need for a festive, delicious, food-safe celebration" this Thanksgiving.
The agency promulgates rules under a number of statutes, most of which are codified in Title 21 of the U.S. Code. If you're curious about the daily work of the FDA, you have a couple of options. You can search the Federal Register either in print (microform in some cases), or on HeinOnline, FDSys, ProQuest Congressional, Westlaw, or Lexis. A quicker way, however, might be to check out the agency's website where they link you directly to relevant notices in the Federal Register.
