It brought about changes in the way food is prepared and checked in the USA. Before the book was published, the meat packing industry could do almost anything they wanted and put almost anything in meat they wanted to. After the book was published, there were laws passed, and there were changes made, so the food you eat today, and the water you drink today is a lot safer than it was before the book was published.

"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair exposed the unsanitary and dangerous working conditions in the meatpacking industry in the early 1900s. It led to public outrage and eventually contributed to the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.
