Abstract

With the rise to power of the Pahlavi government, the country’s health policies, which had begun during the constitutional era, were pursued with greater seriousness and expanded during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. Meat was one of the most essential food items for the people during the Pahlavi era, and dissatisfaction with the health situation, crises, and problems arising from its consumption were always among the concerns of the day. Given this necessity, monitoring meat was of great importance to the government. Therefore, one of the first health policies in the Pahlavi government was the approval of health regulations for butchers and slaughterhouses. This study aims, relying on written sources, newspapers, magazines, and especially newly discovered archival documents to answer the question: what strategy did the Pahlavi government adopt to improve the health status of meat and monitor its hygiene, and how effective was it? The findings indicate that during the specified period, the Pahlavi government, aiming to enhance meat hygiene and through cooperation with various institutions, took effective steps such as physical sanitation, increased health supervision and inspection, issuance of health cards, and health education to improve and promote the health quality of meat
