Meat Packing Improvement
For many years our country has had its controversies about meat packing handling procedures and how terrifying hygienically has been handled. In the 1800’s, Abraham Lincoln, founded the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).He appointed a chemist to lead the division but, there was no such knowledge meaning that back then they did not understand how important meat handling was.
During the 1900’s the meat packing industry along with the workingmen conditions were poorly neither managed nor considered a high priority. The conditions were very dangerous and very unsanitary to the public. It started from very simply not washing their hands or themselves and eventually escalating to even more disgusting issues. There was sweat dropping on the meat constantly, which was not taken care of and then leading to careless handling, hair falling, and no protection to keep it off the meat, as well as many other factors contaminating it continuously from these uneducated workers. Hygiene wise, these meat packers were never taught to properly manage the meat when cutting it. If there were hazardous incidents, for example; fingers that were cut off by those giant machines, there would not be clean precautions where they would remove the meat that was contaminated with their blood. These factories were not correctly built for air circulation within the working environment. There were many employees getting sick and passing those germs along to others while in the same area, therefore crossing contamination to the meat that was being handled to be sold to the public . The regulations of the meat packing by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) were always passed very easily due to the lack of effort and awareness in healthy safety for the public. There was no interest in the customers that were going to consume this meat therefore there was no effort from the workers when working in the factories. The poultry was sometimes covered up
