The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was a United States federal law that authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to inspections and condemn any meat product found unfit for human consumption. Unlike previous laws ordering meat inspections which were enforced to assure European nations from banning pork trade, this law was strongly motivated to protect the American diet.
