The Agricultural Marketing Act authorizes the USDA to offer voluntary, fee-for-service inspection services for these same species. The original 1906 Act authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to inspect and condemn any meat product found unfit for human consumption.

When meat packing began to take off, consumers became nervous about the quality of the meat for consumption.

In 1995, this task was taken over by FSIS, and the FDA took responsibility for shell egg products.

Upton Sinclair's polemical 1906 novel "The Jungle" revealed the alleged abuses of the meat production industry, and was a factor in the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act (1906) and the Federal Meat Inspection Act (1906). However, representatives of the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry reported to Congress that that Sinclair's novel was inaccurate in many particulars, was "intentionally misleading and false", and furthermore engaged in "willful and deliberate misrepresentations of fact".

The book's assertions were confirmed in the Neill-Reynolds report, commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906.
