The Egg Products Inspection Act is a law passed by the United States Congress to ensure the safety of all egg products destined for use as human food. It broadly sets standards for the scientific basis of requiring minimal processing parameters for all egg products (including liquid egg, egg white, egg yolks, pasteurized egg products and dried egg products) as well as providing for inspection of the facilities and the process by which egg products are made and shipped.

The passage of the Meat Inspection Act in 1906 was most directly caused by?

The Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 (FMIA) was a United States Congress Act that worked to prevent adulterated or misbranded meat and meat products from being sold as food and to ensure that meat and meat products are slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions. These requirements also apply to imported meat products, which must be inspected under equivalent foreign standards. USDA inspection of poultry was added by the Poultry Products Inspection Act of 1957. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide inspection services for all livestock and poultry species not listed in the FMIA or PPIA, including venison and buffalo. The Agricultural Marketing Act authorizes the USDA to offer voluntary, fee-for-service inspection services for these same species.

What was the goal of the Meat Inspection Act?

There were multiple factors that fed into the FMIA (Federal Meat Inspection Act). One was the publication of Upton Sinclair's modern classic "The Jungle", which described horrific conditions in slaughter plants and inflamed the public into demanding that slaughter plants be regulated. Another was the experience of President Teddy Roosevelt - when he was a soldier in the Spanish-American War, he remembered be served some pretty foul meat products. Refrigeration hadn't been invented yet, so other methods of preserving meat were used to send supplies to the troops; one of these methods was to soak the meat in formaldehye (embalming fluid). President Roosevelt remembered this and advocated for inspection for slaughter plants to ensure only the best products were used to support military operations.

How are eggs pasteurized?

This is a quote directly from the Food Safety and Inspection Services website of the USDA (see the link below). "Why and How Are Egg Products Pasteurized? The law requires that all egg products distributed for consumption be pasteurized. This means that they must be rapidly heated and held at a minimum required temperature for a specified time. This destroys Salmonella, but it does not cook the eggs or affect their color, flavor, nutritional value, or use. Dried whites are pasteurized by heating in the dried form, again for a specified time and at a minimum required temperature. Since many new and different types of egg products are now being formulated, government and industry are currently evaluating the effectiveness of the pasteurization processes used for these and other products. Additional research will determine if supplemental or different safety measures are warranted to continue to provide safe egg products for foodservice, industry, and consumers. Are All Egg Products Pasteurized? Certain commodities are not presently considered egg products and are exempt from this law. These commodities, which are under the jurisdiction of the FDA, include freeze-dried products, imitation egg products, and egg substitutes. Inspected, pasteurized egg products are used to make these commodities, and companies may elect to re-pasteurize these products following formulation and before packaging."
