you build a system that will put you ahead on the
pollution problem.
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in

Blitz Establishes Panel
On Nitrates, Nitrosamines
Secretary of Agriculture Earl
L. Butz announced he is
establishing an expert panel to
advise the U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) regarding
the safety of the continued user'of
nitrites in human food and the
possible formation of
nitrosamines.
“Events in recent months have
brought increasing concern about
the safety of the use of nitrite as a
curing agent,” Secretary Butz
said. “We have had numerous
joint meetings with members of
the Food and Drug Ad
ministration and other scientists
and technologists since 1970.
Now, there is a great deal of
information in our hands. This
panel will study the material and
make recommendations as to
what action needs to be taken,”
he said.
Nitrite, a chemical substance
used in the curing of meats such
as ham, badon and sausage, has
been demonstrated to inhibit the
growth of the organism that
causes botulism. It has been
reported, though, that nitrite can
combine with secondary amines
in food to form substances called
nitrosamines.

Airsacculitis
Condemnation
To be Clarified
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) proposed to
clarify present criteria for
condemning poultry affected
with airsacculitis.
USDA’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) said the proposal would
add a paragraph to the Poultry
Products Inspection regulations
which would identify air
sacculitis as a condition
requiring condemnation of the
entire carcass or the affected
parts. The disease usually affects
the lower part of the respiratory
tract.
APHIS officials explained that
although condemnations at
tributed to airsacculitis occur,
the regulations do not specifically
mention the condition by name.
The proposal would establish a
new heading under the post
mortem inspection section of the
regulations, entitled “Air
sacculitis,” Identifying the
condition in the regulations under
the Act will help achieve uniform
application of inspection stan
dards.
A notice concerning the
proposal appeared in the Federal
Register. Any person wishing to
submit comments concerning the
proposal may do so by filing them
in duplicate with the Hearing
Clerk, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
20250, by Nov. 30.
Any person desiring to be heard
orally, should address his' request
to the Inspection Standards and
Regulations Staff, Meat and
Poultry Inspection Program,
APHIS, USDA, Washington, D.C.
20250. Transcripts of oral
hearings and written comments
will be available for public in
spection.
