"In the fall Of 1905, Mr.. C. J. 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 tina,
there would be no further shipments
containing these substances into the
state"
The report continues:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control authorizations which the
packer Is permitted, without restraint
to add to meat products, just as muci
as the inspection which the Federal
Government conducts with reference tt
the physiological wholesomeness Of the
animal. While boraclc acid into meats
Of otherwise superior quality, the CHIEF
reason for using antiseptics, artificial
colors and other adulterants Is to dis
guise deficiencies, or Its method OF
preservation, and when these adulter
ations are restricted the result must
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 UP
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN.
DER THE GUARANTEE OF THE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP The
antlseptlc and the anillne dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Is
deceived into believing that this In,
ferior or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome"
