Answer 1

The law that placed controls on foods and medicines in the early 1900s was The Pure Food and Drug Act. The correct answer is A. This act was signed by president Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The main point of this act was to clearly label all foods with every ingredient that was put in it, so that people can know whether there are any substances, or even drugs, used in creation of those products.
