Abstract
The first Food and Drug Act was signed by Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 after attempts at passage over several years. The book “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair which revealed dangerous doctoring of meat and the addition of rats and other filth to the American food supply, coupled with an attendant drop in the sale of meat, finally led to its passage.
