(1 point)
he passed two laws: the meat inspection act and the food and drugs act.
he appointed the first chemist to serve in the department of agriculture.
he required all bread to be made with standard ingredients and no unnecessary fillers.
he founded the food and drug administration and the centers for disease control.

Explanation:

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln appointed the first chemist to serve in the Department of Agriculture. This was an important step in the development of food regulation as it began to bring scientific expertise into the area of food and agricultural oversight. The other options are incorrect. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control were founded much later. The Meat Inspection Act and the Food and Drugs Act (the first of such acts) were passed in 1906, not 1862. The requirement for all bread to be made with standard ingredients and no unnecessary fillers was not a measure taken by Lincoln in 1862.

Answer:

He appointed the first chemist to serve in the Department of Agriculture.
