Sinclair's novel The Jungle brought to light the horrific conditions of the meatpacking industry, leading to the passage of legislation requiring meat inspection. This was an unintended consequence of the novel, as Sinclair's main goal was to expose the exploitation of workers in the industry, rather than focus on food safety.
