Question

Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle uncovered the unhealthy conditions inside a meat

Answer 1

Answer:

The legislative actions that occurred in response to the publication of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" were “The Meat Inspection Act” (requiring the inspection of the meat processed and the sanitary practices used) and “The Pure Food and Drug Act” (requiring improved food handling processes and procedures). Both laws were signed the same day by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Explanation:

• With The Meat Inspection Act  the United States Department of Agriculture investigated the conditions of animals intended for consumption before and after they were slaughtered. Greater attention was paid to imported meat products seeking that the process under which these activities were carried out met the new quality standards.

• With The Pure Food and Drug Act the Chemistry Office is created within the United States Department of Agriculture and its functions are assigned. Years later, this office receives a new name: United States Food and Drug Administration. The law also determined criteria for regulating food and medicine and established penalties for adulteration and misbranding. New requirements also appeared around the "Labeling" of food products and medicines.
