Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 required manufacturers to accurately list the amount of alcohol or "habit-forming" drugs on product labels. It also prohibited the labeling of products with false or misleading information. While the act did not ban opium-containing foods or make it illegal for opiate drugs to be used without a prescription, it did pave the way for future drug regulation and consumer protection laws.
