Upon publication (after 5 rejections) in 1906 the Jungle became an instant best seller.

Upton Sinclair's account of workers falling into rendering tanks and being ground into "Durham's Pure Beef Lard" as well as the exploitation of women and children workers, caught the public's imagination and sparked widespread outrage.

The outcry resulting from the brutal and unsanitary conditions of the meat-packing industry led to the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, which established the Bureau of Chemistry that would become the Food and Drug Administration in 1930.
