Prosecutions Will Be Had OF
Those Handling Foods Con-
tanning It. i

Beginning to-day, proceedings will be
taken against every Virginia dealep
who sells or offers for sale any article

Food Commissioner Saunders mads
this statement yesterday in the most
emphatic way, and asserts that he Will
see to 1t that prosecutions are pusher.
The use of naccharine in food pro4
Ducts manufa ctured. onened or ex.
posed for sale in Virginia Is prohibited
by law. Any article OF food. under
the provisions of the pure food law, is
deemed to be adulterated If 1t contains
added poisonous or added dcleterioua
ingredients which may render 1t in1u-
rious to health. 1t has been determined
and announced that saccharine is such
an added poisonous or deleterious ip-
gredient as Is contemplated by this act,
and that It's substitution for sugar In
foods reduces and lowers their qualify.
Therefore all foods containing saccha-
rtne. whether or not its presence is de-
clared OH the label. will be deemed to
be adulterated and proceeded against
on and after to-day.
The sweetening quality of saccha-
rine is great. but 1t is said to contain
absolutely no food value. 1t follows
that the purchaser of goods sweetened
with this product pays for something
he does not set, for sugar, which Iva
thinks he Is buying, has food value.
In fact. In the matter OF bottled soft
drinks. the department is authority for
tho statement that sugar Is the only
component part which has any food
value. and when this is removed and
saccharine substituted, the drink is
worse than nothing.
Dealers Will be held responsible.
whether or not they know their goods
contain saccharine. They will be pre-.
sumcd to know. for the protection of the
public, and 1t is their duty to inform
themselves.
