The origins of the FDA can be traced back to 1848 when Lewis Caleb Beck was appointed to carry out analysis of agricultural products. That function that the Department of Agriculture inherited when it was created in 1862. It wasn't until 1930 that the FDA was known by its current name, Federal Drug Administration. Their modern day functions began with the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act. The driving force behind the law was Harvey Washington Wiley, Chief Chemist of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, who headed its enforcement in the early years, providing basic elements of protection that consumers had never known before that time.
