	FDA Consumer: The Long Struggle For The 1906 Law
		The debate in 1886 between the defenders of a natural food and those of its alleged artificial substitute centered not only on matters of vested interest, but also pondered concerns about the public health, issues of governmental authority, and the myths in which were enshrined the meaning of the American experience.
		All food and drink and most drugs entered the body through the mouth, and all were subject to similar adulterations.

	Duplication in Food Safety
		While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, there are still too many Americans stricken by illness every year caused by the food they consume, and some, mostly the very young, elderly, and immune compromised, die every year as a result.
		The genesis of the original Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 began with debates around substitute foods, such as margerine for butter, and the use of questionable "ingredients" or additives in foods, such as coal tar, borax, and colors.
		Thus, the Pure Food and Drugs Act, as originally enacted, forbade adulteration and misbranding of foods in interstate commerce, placing the initial responsibility on the food industry to produce safe and wholesome food, with the government in effect policing the industry.

		The Pure Food Movement -- a grass roots phenomenon that germinated in the 1870's -- was the original and principal source of political support for the Food and Drugs Act of 1906.
		Strenuous opposition to Wiley's campaign for a Federal food and drug law came from whiskey distillers and the patent medicine firms, who were then the largest advertisers in the country.
		The Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration was formed, to be renamed in 1931 as the Food and Drug Administration.

		For example, the American Frozen Foods Institute states that the first color magazine ad for frozen food was printed in the 1940's and that nearly 64% of retailers in 1950 carried frozen food.
		Because this act applied to interstate commerce, many times food was shipped without labels until it entered the jurisdiction of the awaiting state ("Food and Drug Laws", Grolier Electronic Encyclopedia, 1993).
		The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 prohibits the distribution of impure foods, drugs or cosmetics in the United States.

	Pure Food, the Press, and the Poison Squad (Copyright KcM 2001-2006)
		And yet, the story of how the Pure Food and Drug Act obtained enough public support to secure its passage is a case study in the law of unintended consequences.
		Of course, the battle for pure food is only half of the story, since the 1906 Act also helped bring an end to the flow of adulterated drugs in America, thus inhibiting the thriving turn-of-the-century industry of medical quackery.
		Although Wiley made a number of public pronouncements in favor of regulating the trade and consumption of pharmaceuticals during the period in question, nevertheless, for the sake of brevity, food is the aim of this study.

		Foods may be imported into the US so long as they meet the same standards as those foods which are produced domestically.
		The difference is that foods produced in the US may be condemn only if they actually fail to meet the applicable standards, imported foods can be condemned if they appear to be adulterated or misbranded (there's those jurisdictional prerequisites again).
		Foods which are intended for export from this country are not required to comply with the requirements of the FDCA.

	Pure Food and Drug Act
		Amid a storm of public indignation, a Pure Food and Drug Act was passed on June 30, 1906.
		Later amendments to the act also required that the quantity of each drug be truly stated on the label, and that the drugs meet official standards of identity and purity.
		The efforts leading to the 1906 act, the act itself and subsequent amendments, and educational campaigns urging families not to use patent medicines containing opiates, no doubt helped curb the making of new addicts.

	Pioneers for food safety

		Suzanne Junod, a historian at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration who wrote her Emory University dissertation on Wiley and his poison squad experiments, said Wiley's experiments created a sensation at the time.
		Wiley stated his intention with the poison squad was to "substantiate the deleterious effects of food preservatives" and didn't disguise his hope of getting the government to ban chemicals from food.

		For those already addicted, however, the protection afforded by the 1906 act and by subsequent amendments was short-lived, for in 1914 Congress passed the Harrison Narcotic Act, which cut off altogether the supply of legal opiates to addicts.

	Pure Food, the Press, and the Poison Squad (Copyright KcM 2001-2006)
		As Wiley put it, “[p]ure food bills in the Senate had been regularly committed to the Committee on Manufactures, much as an infant would be left to starve in a barren room.”
		Indeed, despite Wiley’s almost fanatical attempts to enthrone and preserve the science behind the poison squad experiments from the degradation of George Rothwell Brown’s acerbic pen, the final, victorious campaign in the battle for pure food was instigated not by a grim scientist at all, but by a former joke writer.
		Despite the many contributions of scientific endeavor to the pure food battle, in the end it was a socialist endeavor -- and a work of literature rather than of science -- that finally yielded the necessary public impetus to ensure the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

		Legislation to safeguard drug purchasers began in the United States with the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906; this was superseded by the more inclusive and more stringent federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938.
		Legal responses to drugs were profoundly influenced by the evolving interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, which, until the twentieth century, reserved to the states the police powers to regulate the health professions and drug availability.

		Pure Food and Drug Act is passed, forming the Food and Drug Administration.
		Since drugs could not be outlawed at the federal level, the decision was made to use federal taxes as a way around the restriction.
