Meat Inspection Act

The Meat Inspection Act was instituted in 1906 to keep unsanitary meat from reaching the public consumer. The law stated that labels on all food products had to have accurate ingredient labels posted on them. The laws were enacted in a reaction to the book The Jungle written by Upton Sinclair. The book documented the low standards of the Chicago meat packing industry.
