Back in the progressive era the problems were more deadly, and the food and drugs were the cause of many issues back them stemmed from the food and drugs people consumed. Both then and now people got sick form potentially contaminated food, although now we are aware of it, and add repercausions from the FDA to avoid it, and keep ourselves safe.

Both in the past in the progressive era and now the FDA has worked to get people the safest food and drugs, but now the FDA doesnt have to work against people who dont believe in their work, and now they can just review foods and drugs mostly without struggle. Both then and now the FDA takes down toxic food and drugs, and even food and drugs that are misleading or wrongly pacaged with the wrong ingredients.

The FDA still works as a reformer for Food and drug safety, providing inspections and making sure bussinesses keep up with the regulations. The FDA works on the work they have done already and works to improve the quality of their work. Another orginazation working for health improvements is the CDC which uses their power to assess health issues and try and help inform people on how to stay safe and healthy. The CDC also sets up health guidelines and rules for people to follow to stay healthy

During the proggresive era, the food and drugs had many varrious toxins and harmful chemicals, causeing people to get sick and die. Back then, the meat industry was extremely toxic and harmful withmeat falling on the rat infested floor, and being ground up and sold off to families to eat. Drugs, didn't show the ingreients, causing companies to put large amounts of addictive substances in products such as baby food and formula, to get them hooked on the product so the families would have to keep buying it. The canned food industry also was at fault, putting led paint in food to make it appear to be more appatizeing

People like the FDA, earlier known as the "Posion Squad" used science to show the negitive effects of the food and drugs on real people. Upton Sinclair a popular mukracker from the progressive era, wrote the book "The Jungle" showing the gross truth of the meat pacaging industy to the public, and how their food was contaminated before purchase

The FDA ended up passing the Pure Food and Drug Act, which made food and drugs go through inspection and such before they are sold to consumers. Another soultion was the FDA, so they could inspect food, and make sure that the products had nutrition and ingreidents on products so costumers can see whats in their food and drugs to make sure its safe for them to use.

Before the soultions were more based towards laws and regulations, and still we have to follow those rules. Now, the FDA has more power and can do more safety and health inspections than before as a solution to the problems. Also, now the FDA teaches alot about food borne illness, while before it was more based on toxic food. Still then and now the FDA teaches about the power the custumer has and how to pick out products that are safe and healthy for consumers to use.

Currently the FDAs soultion is to take down any fraudulant bussinesses with misleading medicine or food, and continue to inform the public on how to take care of food to make sure it is safe to eat. The FDA also is still making sure that products show full ingredients so costumers dont feel misleaded.
