| There seems to have been som,
misunderstanding regarding the Us,
,. of alum in food products, especial,
in pickles, as announced in specia
bulletin No. 6, on page II, which
reads:
1.-The pack of pickles for 1910 mus
be free from all alum Salts
That the attitude of this department,
may be clearly understo1 I'd we give
notice at this time that the shipping
into North Dakota or Offering fol- sale
of pickles or other food products to
which alum has been added, will be
contestd on and after January 1st,
1911. All old goods received by
dealers prior to October LIST, will not
be interfered with.
Short Weight Barred.
On and after December LIST, 1910,
this department will contest the sale
of any and all food products not in
accordance with the provisions of
the food statute of North Dakota.
Potatoes, apples, vegetables and all
other products usually sold by weight
must be weighed and not indiscrim-
lnately measured out in paper sacks,
etc. All food products billed at 4
higher weight than the weight stated
upon the label, when offered for sale,
will be contested by this department.
Thus, lard, billed and charged for IS
five pounds must be five pounds net,
no matter what the printed weight
may be. Net weights must apply in
the sale OF ham, bacon, sausage and
all meats in general. Weights must
be net and not gross. Paper, packing
and containers are not to be classed
as goods.
Beverages Misbranded.
Many beverages, particularly cid
ers and artificial beverages, such as
artificial hard cider, artificial crab.
apple CIDER etc., have been found on
sale throughout the state without the
proper labelling since they do not
show the true name and grade of the
product nor do they show the per-
cent by volume of the alcohol present
in the same. The beverage law is
clear on this point, as follows:
Section 4. How Labeled. There
shall be shown on the fact or main
label, to be attached to each contain
err, statement showing the amount
by measure, the alcoholic strength,
and the true name and address of
the manufacturer.
The food law is also specific with
regard to certain forms of labelling
and classes as adulterated or mis-
branded any product not labeled in
accordance with it's provisions which
reads as follows:
Ninth. If every package, bottle
or container does not bear the true
net weight, the name of the real
or jobber, and the true
grade or class of the product, the
same to be expressed on the face of
the principal label in clear and dis.
tinct English words y *
Products not labeled in accordance
with the requirements of the state
law from this day on will be declar-
ed illegal and parties handling the
same are liable to prosecution; and
if the sale is continued cases will be
certified to the attorney general as
required under the provisions of the
statute. Every key, barrel or contain.
er must show upon it's label the true
name of the product, the true grade
of the product, the name and address
of the manufacturer or jobber, and
the true alcoholic strength.
