"It was necessary for the Federal Food and Drug Act to be passed in 1906 to protect consumers from the outrageous claims made in patent medicine ads."

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The act was passed with two main goals in mind:

  • Under the act, drugs should be packed according to the guidelines established in the law, and the active components of the drug had to be labeled on the package. This prevented drug companies from making unfounded claims.
  • Under the act, adultered and forbidden drugs were banned, both from intrastate and interstate trade.
