"In the fall OF 1905. Mr.. C. ]. Tress
Ter, attorney for Swift & Company
called at the office and stated that
Swift & Co. had eliminated boracit
acid and color from meat products
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY, and that
there would be no further shipments
containing these substances into the
state.r
The report continues:
1.-THE packing houses need inspection
to control authorizations 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 t.
the physiological wholesomeness of the
animal. While bOracic acid into meats
Of otherwise superior quality, the CHIEF
reason for using antiseptlcs, artificial
colOrs and other adulterants Is to dis
gulse deficiencies, or Its method OF
preservation, and when these adulter
atlons are restricted the result mus
be higher standard in the product Il
be packed, better methods Of packing
and preservation and more whole
some and perfect food"
Recent investigations have undOubt
edly shown that the federal inspec
ton over the physiological condition OF
! packing house meats Is not thorough
and that some of the animal PROD
! UCT UNFIT FOR FOOD Is PUT vi
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN
DER THE GUARANTEE OF TIE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP TIL,
antlseptlc and the anlllne dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Is
! deceived into believing that this In,
/ fsrlOr or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome"
