I'm the fall OF 1905, Mr.. c. J. Tress.
ler. attorney for Swift & Company
called ut the office and stated that
Swift 4 Co. had eliminated bOracil
acid ana color from meat products
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY, and that
there would be no further shipments
containing these substances into the
state.'
The report continues:

to control adulterations which the
packer Is permitted without restrain,
10 add to meat products, just rs mucl
as the Inspection which the Federal
| Government conducts with reference tC
the physiological wholesOmcness of tn,
animal. While b0raclc acid into meats
of otherwise superior quality, the chief
reason for using antlseptlcs, artificial
colors ana other adulterantg is to dis
guise deficiencies, or its method OF
preservation, and when these adulter
atlons are restricted the result must
bc a higher standard In the product tt
be packed, better methods of packing
and preservation and more whole
some and perfect food"
"ltcccnt Investigations have undoubt
edly shown that the federal inspec
tion over the physiological condition OF
packing house meats is not thorough
and that some of the animal PROD
UCr UNFIT FOR FOOD Is PUT VI
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN

MEAT INSPECTION STAMP The
antiscptlc and the anillne dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Il
deceived into believing that this In
ferlor or condemned meat Is pure aAd
wholesome"
