"In the fall Of 1905, Mr.. c. J. Tress.
Ter. attorney for Swift & Company,
called at the Office and stated that
Swift 4 Co. had eliminated boraciC
acid and color from meat products
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY. and that
there would be 10 further shipments
containing these substances into the
| state"
The report continues:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control authorizations which the
packer Is permitted. without restraint
to add to meat products, just as much

Government conducts with reference to
the physiological whOlesomencss of the
animal. While bOracic acid into meats
of otherwise superior quality, the chief
reason for using antlseptlcs, artificial
c0lors and other adulterants Is to dis
gulse deficiencies, or its method of
preservation, and when these adulter-
be higher standard In the product to
be packed, better methods OF packing
and preservation and more whole
some and perfect food"
"Rccent 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
UCT UNFIT FOR FOOD Is PUT UP
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN-
DER THE GUARANTEE OF THE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP The
antlseptc and the anillne dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Is
deceived into believing that this in
ferior or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome"
