Of agriculture is given authority to
establish standards of quality and
purity in the absence of such stand
ards in the Statutes, and the follow
ing standard for ice cream has been
established under this authority: Ice
cream is frozen product made from
cream and sugar, with or without a
natural 1lavoring, and contains not
less than IA per cent. of milk fat.
A limited amount of gelatine, starch,
eggs or other healthful food con-
stituents may be added to ice cream
without statement of fact, and such
goods may be called ice cream pro-
vided the required per cent. of milk
fat is maintained. If imitation
flavoring materials are used, the label
must state that fact. as in the case
of imitation extracts.
Fruit ice cream is a frozen prod
uct made from cream, sugar and
sound, clean, mature fruits and con-
tains not less than II per cent. of
milk fat.
Nut ice cream Is a frozen prod
net mado from cream, sugar and
sound non rancid nuts and contains
not less than i per cent. of milk fat
Thus if you accept the opinion
and the definition bringing ice cream
within the scope of the ordinance. 1t
will necessarily follow that all ice
cream sold in Bath. as I understand
it. should be manufactured from
cream obtained from tuberculin
tested COWS

could have been made which would
require that, if not from tuberculn
