"In the fall Of 1905, Mr.. c. J. Tress.
ler, attorney for Swift l. Company,
called ut the Office ana stated that
Swift 4 Co. had eliminated boraclC
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:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control adulteratOns which the
packer Is permitted, without restraint
to add to meat products, just rs mucl
rs the inspection which the Federal
Government conducts with reference t.
J the physiological wholesomcncss of the
animal. While bOraclc acid into meats
OF otherwise superior quality, the chief
. reason for using antiscptics, artificial
cOlors ana other adulternnts Is to dis
guise deficiencies, or Its method OF
preservation, and when these adulter
atons are restricted the result mus,
be higher standard In the product t6
be packed, better methods of packing
and preservation ana more whole
some and perfect food"
"Recent Investigations have undoubt
edly shown that the federal inspec
tion over the physiological condition OF
packing house meats Is not thorough
ana that some of the animal PROD
J UCT UNFIT FOR FOOD IS PUT vi
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN
DER THE GUARANTEE OF TIE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP Tht
antiseptlc and the aniline dye are thu
chief means by which the consumer l,
deceived into believing that this In
} ferlor or condemned meat Is pure and
; wholesome"
