It burned down about three years ago. ' “Also mentioned was a scrap ple plant where ‘the final pro duct was being made with 85 percent cereal and water and only 15 percent meat’. Anyone familiar with Pennsylvania Dutch cooking will recognize this as a recipe for ponhaus that calls for the addition of corn meal to meat and water ‘until the mixture is the consistency of mush’. “The report points out that eight plants under the state’s voluntary meat inspection law were visited, and that condi tions at six were found to be ‘generally satisfactory’. There are 53 plants operating in the state under this plan. “Animals are not inspected individually for diseases, the re port claimed, and ‘therefore, the public is not protected from the possibility of eating diseased meat’. “I want to point out that Pennsylvania’s animal health programs from farm to meat counter are thorough and efficient.

This is important to meat production since dairy ani mals, once they are no longer useful for milk production, are usually sold for making bolog na, frankfurters and similar products. “But all animals sold for slaughter at auctions and sales in Pennsylvania must be exa mined by veterinarians. Last year, 269 animals were con demned as unfit for human con sumption. In this manner, Penn sylvania eliminates many po tential trouble sources before animals reach slaughter plants,” the secretary notes. “Last year, 530,000 animals were slaughtered in plants operating under the Pennsyl vania inspection program.
