Government Food Grading Hits New
Highs
Smart consumers look for Govern
ment quality grades on foods before
they buy.
Last year COG million pounds of
meat and meat products were graded
under the voluntary grading system
of the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics. This was almost a 60 million
pound increase over the previous year.
Government experts also graded
more than 40 million dozen eggs dur
ing the year-each one of them sep
arately!
Consumers purchased more than "a
million pounds of Government graded
turkeys and about II million pounds
of other Government-graded poultry.
More and more consumers are
learning to protect their pocketbooks
by asking for Government graded
foods when they buy. If your local
merchant doesn't handle eggs, poultry,
and meats bearing the Government
quality grade stamp, ask him to get
them from his wholesaler
More information about Government
grades on these products and what
they mean can be secured by writing:
