CANNING COMPOUNDS
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
Housewives Warned That Use
of Preserving Powders Harm
full and Useless.

Washington, Aug. 23-Information
has come to the Department that the
canning season has brought the usual
demand OH the part of housewives for
salicylic acid and boric acid. These
preparations are sometimes sold In the
form of powder under various trade
names and are recommended by the
promoters for use in preserving canned
goods in home canning. In the direc-
lions for use the housewife is told to
fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables,
cover with water, and add a teaspoon
full of the preserving powder. While 1t
is true that these compounds may re-
tard the decay of the fruit or veget-
able, it is pointed out by the experts
Of the Department that their use may
be attended by serious disturbances
of health. Salicylic acid is we'll known
as a poisonous substance, and one OF
the evils which may accompany Its
use is arrangement of the digestion.
1t is therefore plain that it's extensive
use in food may lead to disturbance
Of digestion and health.
The Federal Food and Drugs, Act
prohibits the use of harmful preser-
natives in foods that enter interstate
commerce. The food law of nearly
every state In the union forbids the
sale within the state of foods that have
been preserved with harmful SUBJ
stances. Neither the Federal nor State
food laws apply to foods that are
canned in the home and consumed
there. 1t would seem, however. that
the housewife would not knowingly
use, in the foods she provides for her
family, substances that she could not
use in foods for sale without violating
the law, because these substances are
injurious to health.
Artificial Preservatives Not Necessary
Fruits and vegetables can be kept
Indefinitely if they are steriliZed by
heat and properly sealed, and there
is no excuse, in the opinion of the ex-
perts of the Department, for running
any risk by using preserving powders,
which may be injurious to health. The
use Of such powders in addition to
the possible injury to health encour-
ages uncleanly or careless work in
canning. Reliance is placed in the
efficacy of the preserving compound
instead of upon cleanliness and heat.
The Department has issued bulletins
that give specific directions for the
preserving and canning of fruits and
vegetables without the use OF preserv-
ing powders or canning compounds.
These bulletins may be obtained with
out cost from the Department Of Ag-
riculture. Application should be made
for Farmers Bulletin, No. 2oS on
Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies.
and No. 521 on Canning Tomatoes at
