Food Adulteration Abroad
The necessity for sensible pure
food laws has been pressed before
the legislatures of the different
states and before congress. Some
of the states have enacted legisla-
lion to prevent adulteration and
punish those guilty of them, and
it is probable that some similar
action will be taken by congress
at its coming session.
That there is much adulteration
of articles of food in this country
is well known, but judging from
an article which is going the
rounds of the German press, food
adulteration is carried on to an
even greater extent in Europe.
United States Consul General
Guenther, who is stationed at
Frankfort, has furnished the state
department with an interesting
summary of the newspaper arti-
des referred to, in this it is stated
that an ordinary liver patty is
made into fine “Strassburger" pate
de foie gras (a goose liver patty)
by means of borax or salicylic acid
and of finely chopped and cleverly
distributed pieces of black silk,
representing truffles.
Cosmos, a German paper, guar*
yntees the fact that under the
label of Canned lobsters the soft
parts of the cuttlefish and crabs
are sold.
In Paris snails are of late very
popular, and the adulterators mix
them with lungs of cattle and
horses Even entirely artificial
snails are manufactured; the shells,
recoated with fat and slime, are
filled with lung and then sold as
“Burgundy” snails.
Lovers of tresh rooster combs
are imposed upon by a substitute
cut out of hogs' intestines.
Chopped artificial truffles are
made of black rubber, silk or soft
ened leather, and even whole truf-
fles are made out of roasted pota
toes, which are given a peculiar
flavor by adding ether. They are
said to sell well.
Fish spoiled m spite of ice and
borax is treated with salts of zinc,
aluminum and other petals. Rub
bing the fish with vaseline to give
it a fresh look and coloring the
gills with fresh blood or rosin—a
coal tar color—is resorted to. The
latter is also used to intensify the
red color of inferior crabs.
Imparting a greenish color to
oysters is another adulteration
An oyster requires about a month
in the beds to acquire the greenish
color. As this is too long a time,
the dealers help them along with
an artificial color.
The chemists in the Paris mu
mcipal labratories have shown
that tomato jelly i* adulterated
with turnips, and powdered pepper
contains a large admixture of pow-
dered hard-tack.
