The adulteration or food IL a. old as
history.
The sole purpose OF adulterating
food is gain. | doubt II there ever
was a food adulteratoTa who deliber-
ately manipulated foods for the pur-
pose or inJuring health, or for any
other reason than that of securing
gain TO which he was not entitled.
For this reason the misbranding or
food products is concomitant and
near relation of adulteration and can
not be omitted from consideration.
!, The manipulation of food in order
Ito secure greater returns consists es-
sentially in misrepresenting the ma
ture OF the product, in abstracting a
valuable ingredient, by adding less
valuable ingredient or by diluting the
food in some way 10 lower its
strength. All these processes were
originally secret and were known as
tricks of the trade" Most OF them
we're so easily detected that they did
rot long endure the test OF publicity.
but some of them are so subtle and
so difficult OF discovery, that they are
practiced yet under the noses, OF com.
petent experts.
The methods of adult.ration are so
varied almost as the adulterated ar
ticles. There is no set method of pro-
cedure, but in each case the person
adulterating the food considers the
environment in which he works. II
he is located in community where
no inspections are made and he has
no fear of the law he may produce
the grossest forms OF adulteration
without fear of detection.
