I'm 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 no further shipments
containing these substances into the
state"
The report continues:
"rhe packing houses need inspection
to control adulteratlOns which the
packer is permitted, without restraint
to add to meat products, just as much
as the inspection which the Federal
Government conducts with reference to
the physiological whOlesOmeness of the
animal. While bOracic acid into meats
Of otherwise superior quality, the chief
reason for using antlseptlcs, artificial
cOlOrs and other adulteranta Is to dis
gulse deficiencies, or Its method OF
preservation, and when these adulter
atlOns are restricted the result must
be a higher standard In the product tC
he packed, better methods Of packing
and preservation and more whole
some ana perfect food"
| "Itecent 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
antlseptlc and the aniline dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Is
deceived into believing that this in
ferlOr or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome"
