Food and Drug Legislation in the New Deal (Princeton Legacy Library) -> New Deal Food and Drug Legislation
In June 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the first major legislation regulating the food, drug, and cosmetic industries since the 1906 Wiley law. The new Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act eliminated serious and long-standing abuses in production, labeling, and advertising, making it a milestone in federal interest in consumer protection, as described by David L. Cowen. However, its passage was the result of a long and complex battle between conflicting interest groups, despite its importance to the American public. This volume provides a thorough study of the five-year struggle, fully documented by records, correspondence, and publications, along with a social history of the period. The author analyzes the inadequacy of the 1906 law, the roles of Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, and Rexford Tugwell, the American Medical Association, drug associations, and consumers' and women's groups. This volume was originally published in 1970 as part of the Princeton Legacy Library, which uses the latest print-on-demand technology to make previously out-of-print books available again. These editions preserve the original texts of important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
