1848 – out of concerns of food provided to troops in the Mexican-America War,
inspections of adulterated food and drugs set standards on exported products
like salted meats, fish and flour.
The Division of Chemistry started looking at agricultural commodities in 1867
following the first court case involving adulterated products where butter sued
oleomargarine with butter winning and oleo being taxed.
Early in the 1880’s the Ladies Health Association provided the foundation for

Harvey W. Wiley was appointed Director of the Division of Chemistry and
formed the “Poison Squad”, having young healthy men, volunteering to ingest
food additive chemicals to determine their impact on human health.
