Unprocessed foods such as milk, eggs, poultry, and oysters were of particular concern because of unsanitary conditions in many establishments and the primitive nature of refrigeration. Here, inspector John Earnshaw examines eggs. In order to ensure uniform enforcement of the law, an Inspector's Manual was issued in 1908. This manual contained a checklist of conditions to be reported, such as sanitation, the health of employees, and the use of chemical preservatives and colors, matters which still concern the Food and Drug Administration.
