520    "Formaldehyde, borax, salicylic acid. Today, these 
       chemicals are used in embalming fluids, cleaning supplies,
       and acne medications. But in 1900, they were routinely 
       added to food that Americans ate from cans and jars. Often
       products weren't safe because unregulated, unethical 
       companies added these and other chemicals to trick 
       consumers into buying spoiled food or harmful medicines. 
       Chemist Harvey Washington Wiley recognized these dangers 
       and began a relentless thirty-year campaign to ensure that
       consumers could purchase safe food and drugs, eventually 
       leading to the creation of the U.S. Food and Drug 
       Administration, or FDA. Acclaimed nonfiction and Sibert 
       Honor winning author Gail Jarrow uncovers this intriguing 
       history in her trademark style that makes the past 
       enthrallingly relevant for today's young readers"--Amazon.
