The correct answer is A) Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act.
The Meat Inspection Act was a federal law passed in 1906 that increased government regulation of the meat packaging industry. Before this time, many businesses used extremely unsanitary work conditions when processing meat. This resulted in thousands of cases of illnesses due to bad meat being sold.
The Pure Food and Drug Act was also passed in 1906. This law created the Food and Drug Administration. This federal agency works to protect consumers by inspecting businesses and ensuring that they do not mislabel or lie about the product they are trying to sell.
