Foods and Their Adulteration is an early twentieth-century work of food science and consumer protection by Harvey W. Wiley. It surveys the origins, manufacture, and composition of common foods, describes frequent adulterations, and explains food standards and national food laws. It is worth listening to as a historical look at how modern food regulation and public health advocacy took shape.
