BULLETIN NO. II
Of the Minnesota State Dairy and
Food Commission

Undoubtedly the greatest fraud
now being perpetrated in the sale Of
foodstuffs in this state, as we'll as in
nearly every other state in the Union,
is the short weight and short measure
fraud. The laws of the state prohi-
bit misbranding of food products, and
when container is labeled giving
the net weight the statement must be
true. The law requires a statement
of the net weight on a few products,
but does not require such statement
on a great number of staple articles.
The manufacturer or packer simply
does not label the package he puts
upon the market and the purchaser
buys it thinking he is getting a pound
five pounds, quart or gallon, as
thecase may be. The practice is quite
general and is the rule in the case of
many products and not the exception.
