Explanation:

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln appointed the first chemist to serve in the Department of Agriculture. This was an important step in the early development of food regulation efforts in the United States as it began to lay the groundwork for scientific analysis of food and agricultural products. The Meat Inspection Act and The Food and Drugs Act were passed later (in 1906). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was founded in 1906 (originally as the Bureau of Chemistry which evolved) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was founded in 1946. There is no historical record of Lincoln requiring all bread to be made with standard ingredients and no unnecessary fillers.

Answer:

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