Meat Inspection Act of 1906 and Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906

Meat slaughterhouses were disgusting, and American meat products were threatened of being banned from foreign countries, and American consumers were being sickened by American tainted meat. So, to solve the meat crisis Roosevelt and congress passed the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. This Act required that meat preparation be inspected before being shipped over state lines, "from coral to can."

The Pure Food and Drug Act was a step further, it prohibited the the adulteration and mislabeling of foods and drug products.
