cooked sausage products show
ed an average of 28 5 per cent
fat for the first quaitcr of 1970
These tests wo e made as part
Of the Federal meat inspection
program’s continual check on
plant production procedures
and inspection controls over
the composition of cooked sau
sages, such as frankfuiteis and
bologna A 30 per cent fat limit
regulation became effective last
Oct. 23.
Officials of USDA’s Consum
er and Marketing Service said
96.1 percent of samples tested
during the first quaiter were in
compliance with the proceduial
requirements. The majonty of
the samples had between 27
and 30 per cent fat The agency
plans to announce lesults each
quaiter.
Sausage manufactmeis have
the first and pi unary icsponsi
bility for keeping the fat con
tent of their sausages within the
30 percent limit. Fedeial in
spectors have concentiated fust
ef all on getting plants them
selves to establish adequate
means of controlling and limit
ing the fat content, wheiever
such controls were lacking The
inspectors check the controls,
take samples of the product,
and analyze the content in Fed
eral laboratories.
We don’t really deliver Royster
BONANZA in an armored car.
But you get the idea . . . it’s the
most valuable product we make.
Most valuable to you, because
BONANZA can make the differ
ence between a poor crop and a
good one .. . between a good crop
and a great one.
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potas
sium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sul
fur, Boron, Chlorine, Copper,
Iron, Maganese, Molybdenum,
and Zinc ... these are the 13 plant
food elements that all crops must
get from the soil. You simply can
not continue to farm profitably.
Several members of the Newspaper Farm Editors
of America visited the National PFA Center on April 21,
1970 for an informal program and dinner with the FFA
staff.
