Book Overview

This expos by Upton Sinclair reveals the corrupt practices of the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century. Sinclair's vivid descriptions of unsanitary and unsafe working conditions and the substandard quality of the meat produced by these factories shocked readers. The book played a key role in the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, which established federal regulations of food safety standards.
