Food Safety

The Meat Inspection Act of 1906, inspired by a nauseated public as a result of Sinclair's novel, "The Jungle", decreed that the preparation of emat shipped over state lines would be subject to federal inspection from corral to can. This would spur larger businesses to booming success (with more appealing products bearing the governement seal of approval) and protect consumers from buying dangerous unhealty meats.




The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was designed to prevent the adulteration and mislabeling of foods and pharmaceuticals. This would prevent drugstore companies from gaining extra profits with mislabeled products and so would protect consumers from ineffective or dangerously icnorrect medicines.
