The Egg Products Inspection Act is a law passed by the United States Congress to ensure the safety of all egg products destined for use as human food. It broadly sets standards for the scientific basis of requiring minimal processing parameters for all egg products (including liquid egg, egg white, egg yolks, pasteurized egg products and dried egg products) as well as providing for inspection of the facilities and the process by which egg products are made and shipped.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates and inspects eggs. Specifically, the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service oversees the grading and quality standards for eggs, while the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) ensures their safety through inspections. Additionally, the Egg Products Inspection Act mandates that all egg products are inspected before they can be sold.
The Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 (FMIA) was a United States Congress Act that worked to prevent adulterated or misbranded meat and meat products from being sold as food and to ensure that meat and meat products are slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions. These requirements also apply to imported meat products, which must be inspected under equivalent foreign standards. USDA inspection of poultry was added by the Poultry Products Inspection Act of 1957. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide inspection services for all livestock and poultry species not listed in the FMIA or PPIA, including venison and buffalo. The Agricultural Marketing Act authorizes the USDA to offer voluntary, fee-for-service inspection services for these same species.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is responsible for inspecting food and meat processing plants to ensure the products are safe for consumers. They enforce regulations based on the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to safeguard public health.

Meat Inspection Act
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt supported the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.
awey
it was in Chicago
There were multiple factors that fed into the FMIA (Federal Meat Inspection Act). One was the publication of Upton Sinclair's modern classic "The Jungle", which described horrific conditions in slaughter plants and inflamed the public into demanding that slaughter plants be regulated. Another was the experience of President Teddy Roosevelt - when he was a soldier in the Spanish-American War, he remembered be served some pretty foul meat products. Refrigeration hadn't been invented yet, so other methods of preserving meat were used to send supplies to the troops; one of these methods was to soak the meat in formaldehye (embalming fluid). President Roosevelt remembered this and advocated for inspection for slaughter plants to ensure only the best products were used to support military operations.
