I'm the fall of 1905. Mr.. C. ]. Tress
Ter. attorney for Swift & Company
called at the Office and stated tina
Swift & Co. had eliminated bOraci
acid and color from meat product
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY, and tina
there would be no further shipment
containing these substances into tn
state
The report continues:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control authorizations which tn
packer Is permitted, without restrain
to add to meat products, just as muc
as the inspection which the Fedora
Government conducts with reference /
the physiological whOlesOmeness Of tn
animal. While bOraclc acid into meat
OF otherwise superior quality, the chic
reason for using antiseptics, artificial
colors and other adulterants Is to dli
gulse deficiencies, or Its method q
preservation, and when these adulteI
atoms are restricted the result mus
be a higher standard In the product I
be packed. better methods OF packin
and preservation and more whole
some and perfect food"
"Recent Investigations have undOub
eddy shown that the federal inspe,
ton over the physiological condition @
packing house meats Is not thorough
and that some OF the animal PROL
UCT UNFIT FOR FOOD IS PUT VI
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN
DER THE GUARANTEE OF TIL
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP Tn
antlseptic and the aniline dye are tn
chief means by which the consumer !
deceived into believing that this IN
fsrior or condemned meat Is pure an
wholesome"
