Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pure Food These carefully prepared provisions of the bill will prevent any dealer being put to the expense of a prosecution where he takes the precaution to protect himself In requiring a guaranty. Standards of Food. We realize that it is not possible for Congress to determine the wholesomeness or unwholesomeness of each food product, or to fix by legislative act the standard which shall be accepted as complying with well-known names of food articles. We realize that in the end the determination of the standard of a food article under a given name may be one to be settled by the courts. It is, however, essential to the success and operation of any pure-food measure that standards of food products shall be arrived at for the guidance of the officials charged with the administration of the law and often for the information of the courts. One of the principal objects of a national pure-food law is to obtain uniformity of food standards among the States, which are supreme within their own borders. The intention of the makers of the Constitution and the founders of the Republic that commerce between the States should be free and unhampered has been largely nullified as to food products by the varying requirements as to standards and labels in different States. In one State one standard may be required for a named article and in the adjoining State a different standard fixed: and where the same standard is agreed upon in a group of States for precisely the same article different labels may be required in each of them, so that the producer or manufacturer is compelled to not only have complete knowledge of the various State laws, but under penalty is required to carefully see to it that a package of goods intended to meet the requirements of one State shall not by error be sent into another State. This has a tendency to prevent the development of small jobbing and wholesale cities, because the small jobber perhaps can not well afford to carry in stock what in fact is the same article properly labeled for a number of different States surrounding him. It is therefore provided in the bill that the Secretary of Agriculture shall fix the standard of food products when advisable, and that to aid him in reaching just decisions, he is authorized to call upon the committee on food standards of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists and the committee of standards of the Association of State Dairy and Food Departments, and such other experts as he may deem necessary. Preservatives. The use of preservatives in some form and to some extent has become well-high universal in our country as to certain classes of food products. It is contended by some that preservatives are injurious and unwholesome; by others that in small quantities they are harmless and necessary for proper preparation of food articles. It is contended by some that a preservative, when introduced into the human system, requires an extra and unusual amount of work on the part of the organs of the body to get rid of it, and that though a preservative in very small quantities may seem harmless, that, in fact, to the extent to which it exists, it is to a degree injurious to the system in the long run.
