1.-THE German American Provision
Company, Chicago.
I'm the fall Of 1905, Mr.. c. ]. Tress
Ter. attorney for Swift & Company
called at the Office and stated thai
Swift & Co. had eliminated boracit
acid and color from meat products
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY, and tina,
there would bc no further shipments
containing these substances into thu
state.'
The report continues:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control authorizations which thu
packer Is permitted, without restraint
to add to meat products, just as mucl
as the inspection which the Fedora
Government conducts with reference Il
| the physiological whOlesOmeness Of thu
animal. While boracic acid into meats
OF otherwise superior quality, the chile
reason for using antlseptics, artificial
cOlOrs and other adulterant3 Is to dis
gulse deficiencies, or Its method o.
preservation, and when these adulter
atoms are restricted the result mus
be a higher standard In the product Il
he packed. better methods Of packing
and preservation and q 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 THE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP The
antiseptlc and the aniline dye are the
chief means by which the consumer II
deceived into believing that this In
fsrior or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome
