Food was not being cut, shipped and prepared properly or safely. This led to lots of food and water being contaminated. There was also a lack of health education. Because not many people knew how these contaminants spread, people did not know how to prevent or treat them.

In both time periods sanitation with food and water was and still is an issue. During the Progressive era people were still learning of diseases like cholera and how these contaminants can spread. Nowadays people have more knowledge on how food should be prepared, and we have laws and administrations that keep products from being harmful.

In modern times safety and sanitation is still something we have to be careful of. People are still getting diseases like cholera and even worm infections.

While most of the reformers for the safety movement during the progressive era were Muckrakers who exposed and informed the public about dangers to their safety, now we have an administration that does the work for us. The FDA passes laws and acts that keep up safe with our food and drug products

Both the Muckrakers and the administration have exposed unsanitary food products and facilities. The Muckrakers published books and articles to expose the process of meat handling and food care, while the FDA passes regulations that protect people .

During the Progressive era the reformers were mostly muckrakers like Upton Sinclair. He helped raise awareness of how unsanitary the meat and food facilities truly were. Sinclair published a book call The Jungle that told the truth about how these facilities were run. Another reformer was Edwin Chadwick. Chadwick helped reform and pass new health and safety laws that would protect peoples safety.

The muckrakers from this era exposed and showed people how unsanitary food handling could be. By passing books and publishing articles they could spread the news and increase awareness of diseases and how unsanitary food processing can cause them. They also passed laws that required food and drug handling to be more safe and sanitary.
