Editing Pure Food and Drug Act (section)

==Particular drugs deemed addictive==
Under the law, drug labels, for example, had to list any of 10 ingredients that were deemed "addictive" and/or "dangerous" on the product label if they were present, and could not list them if they were not present. [[Alcohol (drug)|Alcohol]], [[morphine]], [[opium]], and [[cannabis]] were all included on the list of these "addictive" and/or "dangerous" drugs. The law also established a federal cadre of food and drug inspectors that one Southern opponent of the legislation criticized as "a Trojan horse with a bellyful of inspectors and other employees."<ref>Young, James H. [https://books.google.com/books?id=vw8ABAAAQBAJ&dq=a+Trojan+horse+with+a+bellyful+of+inspectors&pg=PA98 Pure Food: Securing the Federal Food and Drugs Act of 1906.] Princeton, N.J: Princeton University Press, 1989, p. 98.</ref> Penalties under the law were modest, but an under-appreciated provision of the Act proved more powerful than monetary penalties. Goods found in violation of various areas of the law were subject to seizure and destruction at the expense of the manufacturer. That, combined with a legal requirement that all convictions be published as Notices of Judgment, proved to be important tools in the enforcement of the statute and had a deterrent effect upon would-be violators.<ref>[https://ceb.nlm.nih.gov/fdanj/ FDA Notices of Judgment Collection, 1908-1966]</ref>

Deficiencies in this original statute,{{For example?|date=December 2018}} which had become noticeable by the 1920s, led to the replacement of the 1906 statute with the [[Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act]] which was enacted in 1938 and signed by President Franklin Roosevelt. This act, along with its numerous amendments, remains the statutory basis for federal regulation of all foods, drugs, biological products, cosmetics, medical devices, tobacco, and radiation-emitting devices by the U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]].
