Nixon as part of the action taken
to increase food supplies in
support of Phase IV. The
authorization,' taken under
Section 22(b) of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, as amended,
was proclaimed on Wednesday,
July 18.
The imports will be on a first
come, first served basis, and
must be entered by August 31; no
licenses will be required. The
maximum amount which an
individual importer may bring in
is limited to 2,500,000 pounds; this
limitation is intended to prevent
any importer from controlling a
disproportionate share of the
imports. Imports will not be
restricted to specific countries of
origin.
At the same time, the President
directed the U. S. Tariff Com
mission to undertake an in
vestigation and make recom
mendations as to whether the
annual import quota of 1,807,000
pounds should be increased or
suspended. The Commission was
also instructed to investigate and
recommend on the quota for
animal feeds containing milk or
milk derivatives. Such feeds,
commonly known as “milk
replacers,” consist largely of
nonfat dry milk.
The authorization for 80 million
pounds of nonfat dry milk follows
similar actions earlier in the
year, totalling 85 million pounds.
Nonfat dry milk production has
been below normal this year
because of the decline in fluid
milk production, but commercial
demand has remained strong.

When it became apparent that
the upturn in production which
had been hoped for during the
flush milk production season had
not materialized, Secretary of
Agriculture Earl L. Butz
recommended prompt action by
the President to insure that
supplies would remain fully
adequate.
The importation of most dairy
products is limited by import
quotas established by
Presidential Proclamation under
the Section 22 authority. Section
22 provides for limitations on
imports, following an in
vestigation by the Tariff Com
mission and a Presidential
determination, of items found to
be interfering or likely to in
terfere with the price support
program for milk. Imports of
nonfat dry milk have been under
quota control since 1953, when an
annual quota of 1,807,000 pounds
was proclaimed by President
Eisenhower.
The emergency Section 22
action will, as provided by law,
subject to an investigation and
report to the President by the U.
S. Tariff Commission. The in
vestigation will include a public
hearing at which interested
parties may testify. An an
nouncement by the Tariff
Commission is expected in the
near future.

New Requirements for Handling
Meat and Poultry Spice Mixes
zed
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) set new
requirements for the handling of
pre-mixed spices and curing
agents used in processed meat
and poultry products
manufactured in federally in
spected plants.
Officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) said that effective
immediately packers and
processors will not be permitted
to use spices and flavorings
which are pre-packaged with
curing agents such as nitrates
and nitrites unless the mixtures
of spices and curing agents
contain a buffering compound.
Officials said that other pre
mixes currently on hand in
federally inspected plants will
not be permitted in the
manufacture of luncheon meats,
frankfurters, and similar
processed meat products unless
they meet specific safety
requirements.
Today’s action does not affect
the use of spices and curing
agents packaged separately, or
when mixed at the time they are
applied or added to processed
products.
APHIS said the action was
necessitated by a change in Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
regulations, effective July 19,
which removed such spice and

curing agent pre-mixes from the
“generally recognized as safe”
category. Officials explained that
laboratory analyses have in
dicated that such pre-mixes may
cause the formation of
nitrosamines. Some of these
nitrosamines, they said, have
been found to be a health hazard
in laboratory test animals. In a
recent series of pre-mix tests
conducted by the Federal Meat
and Poultry Inspection Program,
two of 16 samples showed
nitrosamine levels of 5.6 parts
per billion (ppb) and 48.5 ppb,
respectively. No buffered mixes
have been found to contain
nitrosamines.
Extensive testing measures
were begun early last month by
USDA and FDA when officials of
the Canadian Ministry of Health
reported the finding of
nitrosamines in spice and curing
agent pre-mixes in Canada.
