Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle" led to the passage of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, marking significant reforms in food safety regulations in the United States. The exposure of unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry prompted the government to act quickly to protect consumers. This legislation resulted in establishing federal standards for inspecting meat and created the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure food safety.
