Further Explanation:-

Upton Sinclair wrote the book, ‘The Jungle'. He wrote this book to oppose the working conditions which were appalling in the Meat Packing Industry. The way he described the meat industry as rotten, diseased, contaminated meat shocked everyone and laid the foundation for new federal food safety laws. Upton Sinclair who was mainly known for his fiction writing soon became accidental muckraker when he wrote about happenings of the meatpacking industry. During the period of the 1900s, Four major meatpacking industries bought small slaughterhouses throughout the United States. As there were only four major meatpacking industries, they used to set prices for cattle ranchers, feed growers as well as consumers. The largest meatpacking industry was in Chicago. This industry had slaughterhouses, stockyards, Feedlots along with meat processing plants and the housing area of workers was also set up there. This area of Chicago was known as Packingtown. When Upton released his book and everyone got to know about the conditions of the meatpacking industry, the ‘Meat Inspection Act in 1906' was made under the leadership of President Roosevelt. Under this act, inspectors were authorized from the U.S Department of agriculture to stop bad and mislabeled meat to enter interstate and foreign commerce.
