SULPHITES IN HAMBURG;
 CEREAL IN SAUSAGE
Recent Survey Has Disclosed Nuner-
 ous Tranaressions in This State.

A rather extensive recent survey of the sale of Hamburg steak and pork sausage has disclosed numerous -transgressions says Frank H. Stadt- muller, state dairy and food comnis- sioner in a statement issued this week. Much Hamburg steak was found con taining added sulphites, used primar- fly to admit the use of inferior (part- 1y 6ecomposed) meat, and secondly as preservative. It is. therefore, de- sirable to call attention to the fol- lowing ruling:
 "rhe use of sulphur dioxid in any form in any meat food product or in milk will be considered as an adul- teration. No objection will be made to other foods which contain the or dinary quantities of sulphur dioxid if the fact that such foods have been so prepared is plainly stated upon the label of each package. But an abnor- nal quantity of sulphur dioxid placed in foods for the purpose of marketing an excessive moisture content will be regarded as adulteration."
 Considerable pork sausaSes was found containing cereal without the less frequently. instances in which the Attention is, therefore, directed to the following United States Bureau of Animal Industry ruling regarding the use of cereal in sausage.
 Sausage shall not contain in excess of per cent
 'tWhen cereal not in excess of 2 per cent. is added to sausage. the product shall be marked with the phrase ,ce- real added'''
