28—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. August 26, 1972 USDA Amends Bacon Packaging, Cured Meat Labeling Regulations New bacon packaging regulations and a new requirement that all cured meat products be labeled with an ingredient statement will become effective Feb. 19, 1973, the U.S. Department of Agriculture an nounced today. “Both changes will give con sumers more complete in formation on which to base their selections of bacon and other cured meat products such as ham,” Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Richard E. Lyng said. Windowed bacon packages will have to expose at least 70 per cent of the length of a representative strip of bacon. This window will have to be at least 1% inches wide. The new requirement is basically the same as that proposed in the Federal Register April 21, to which USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service received 436 comments from individual consumers, consumer representatives, in dustry, trade associations, State and municipal governments, and educational institutions. Of these, 391 comments favored the proposal. Repeatec consumer com plaints aboit being unable to judge the quality of bacon in windowed packages prompted the proposal, officials said. USDA worked wuh Mrs. Virginia Knauer, Special Assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs, in drafting the proposal and final amendment.

Baldwin, a Virginia Tech professor of dairy science. “It’s just a realization that cows have feelings and react accordingly.” Cows’ feelings include fear and insecurity brought on by pain, irregular schedules and disturbances, expecially at milking time. XXX Burlington Northern, In corporated’s interest in tree planting reflects a long history of sustained-yield forest management on company lands in several states. Last year Burlington Northern planted 2.4 million seedlings, aerial seeded extensive tracts for a potential of 2.1 million more new trees. That’s about 12,000 new trees per day, far exceeding timber har vest m terms of new board feet grown versus board feet cut. consumer organizations, members of the meat industry, trade organizations, educational institutions, and State and municipal governments, 292 favored the change. Cured meat products have not had to carry ingredient statements in the past because USDA felt that consumers generally knew that these products were made with meat and a simple curing solution. As more complex curing solutions have come into use in recent years, consumers may no longer be aware of the ingredients used, APHIS officials said. All other federally inspected meat products containing two or more ingredients already must carry ingredient statements. LLOYD H.
