30 juin 1906 - Meat Inspection Act
Description:
The Meat Inspection Act was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1906, largely in response to the public outrage provoked by Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle," which exposed unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry. This law mandated that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspect all cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and horses when slaughtered and processed into products for human consumption, ensuring that meat products were slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions.Ajouté au bande de temps:
