USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and NF (National Formulary) are two references that are now combined into one book USP/NF. These two references were established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
This act was the first attempt of the government to provide protection to the consumers in drugs and foods manufacturing. It set minimal standards of purity, strength and quality which had to be met by the drug manufacturers.
Hence, the correct answer is Pure Food and Drug Act.
