Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle" helped bring about the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act, both enacted in 1906. The book exposed unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry, leading to public outrage and governmental investigation. These legislative acts established important food safety regulations in the United States.
