WEDNESDAY,
NOW SHE CAN KNOW!
JUNE 17th, 1931

HANKS to the McNary-Mapes
amendment to the Federal
Food and Drugs Act, fostered
and brought about by the com-
mercial canned foods industry it-
self, the housewife will be in a
position from now on to know
that a steadily increasing num-
ber of the canned foods she buys
are above or below certain stand-
ards.
Up to this year the buying of
canned foods has been somewhat
of a blind business. The fact that
such gigantic quantities of them
have been manufactured and sold
is because the vast majority of
them are so uniformly good. But
up to the time when the first
standards under this new amend-
ment were promulgated by the
Secretary of Agriculture, the
housewife had only her own per-
sonal experience and her knowl
edge of the best brands to guide
her choice.
Six Standards Set
Now she has new knowledge
put into her hands by the manu-
facturers of canned foods them-
selves. This amendment. which
was signed by President Hoover
on July 8 of last year, authorized
the Secretary of Agriculture to
establish definite standards for 1
canned foods products — excep!
meat and meat foods which are
subject to the meat inspection act,
and canned milk—and to promul-
gate a form of label designation
for foods which fall below the
standards which he set.
Standards for six canned
foods products have already been
set by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. These standards are for
peaches, pears, peas, tomatoes,
cherries and apricots.
7
All canned foods which the
Government allows to be sold must
conform to the requirements of
the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
The purpose of the new standards
is simply to enable the housewife
to differentiate at a glance be:
tween the best grades and those
which are not so good, but are
wholesome and legal.
Substandard Grades Labeled
All canned foods which fall be-
low these new standards will be
required to be designated on their
labels as “Below U. S. Standard
—Low Quality But Not (llegal.”
This statement will be disnlayed
prominently on the container in
immediate conjunction with the
name of the product, and wil te
of immeasurable help to the ncuse
wife by informing her that the
canned food, while substandard,
is nevertheless wholesome and
edible.
Full Cans Also Assured
Thus the housewife can not only
discriminate as to the palat iit
and attractiveness of the
foods she buys, nut the new
promulgated by the Secretary of
Agriculture also nrovide for proper
filling of all cans. These require-
ments for fill of container state
that “canned foods shall be con-
sidered as of standard fill if the
entire contents occupy 90 per cent

or more of the volume of the
closed container. Canned foods
which fall below the foregoing
standard of fill of container shall
bear the name of the article imme-
diately preceded, wherever such
name appears, by the words ‘slack
filled’ in letters of at least equal

size and prominence.”

in
In this way the housewife is as-
sured that she will not only know
that the canned foods she buys
are above or below certain definite

standards, but that she will get
all of the food she pays for in
every can.
A New Departure
Such action as this is without
precedent in any other industry.
Other industries formed na-
tion-wide associ and set up
“Czars’”’ Lo s Lue nduct
of their menivers. but 1t has re-
mained for ational Canners
Association to go to the Govern-
ment and say to it in effect:
“We want a law which will not
only regulate the conduct of all
the members of cur association
hut of every other manufacturer

it

f canned foods. and which will
make them state plainly on the
labeis of these fcods whether they
are : ve or belew certain fixed
standards. And we waat you. not
ourselves, to set the standards
upon which t} XY it labeling
is to be based.”
A Wisz Move
This action on the part of the
National Canuers Association is
not based on altruistic or uneco-
nomic prinein hut it was taken
hecause the mdustry was forward
looking enough to realize that its
continued success depends not
only on the quality of its product
but on accurate knowledge of that
quality by the public.
Under these new standards
which take active effect ninety
days after they are promulgated,
and the first three of which went
into effect on May 18. the house-
wife will be more fully protected
than ever before by specific know”
edge of just exactly what kind
product she is buying. *

Gold of Conquistadores
OMETIMES nature laughs

neglecting the unri
ities for riches through colonization.
The Conquistadores wanted to get
rich quick, and, when they didn't,
many of them pulled up baby pine-
apple slips because they had grown
to love the luscious tropical fruit
which they could not get in their
own country, and went home to try
and grow that fruit under glass, as
it does not grow easily in a tem-
perate climate.
Had they remained there and
seized this priceless opportunity,
today’s thriving pineapple industry
might have been theirs. For a ripe
pineapple is a luscious fruit, and
today’s Hawaiian pineapple industry
puts that ripe pineapple into a can,
so that it will reach its millions
of devotees with all of its natural
fruit sugar, its vitamins, its flavor
and its unusual appetite producing
taste.
The Taste’s The Thing
Have you ever noticed that
“more” taste about pineapple?
That, as you eat it, you feel some-
how as though you could keep on

Pineapple is a powerful
1 to digestion and helps one to
:e care of rich protein foods.
That's because pineapple contains
bromelin. This fact this
golden fruit an excellent accompani-
ment to meats. It's the bromelin
in the pineapple served with meats
which aids in the digestion of them,
les adding a ta and a taste
to them that everyone likes.
And now one may have all the
ts. Increased pro-
pineapple one war
duction in the Hawaiian Islands has
not only made available a great deal
more pineapple than in previous
vears, but the price of this tropical
fruit has been lowered so that the
housewife may use it as lavishly as
she pleases, with meats, to make
cakes, griddle cakes, waffles, decora-
tive gelatin salads and desserts,
frozen and otherwise, or she may
serve the golden wheel of pineapple
swimming in a delicious syrup,
nicely chilled, for an extra “ritzy”
dessert in every sense but price.
Here are some interesting ways
of serving pineapple with meat, and
some frozen desserts.
Pineapple With Meat
Pineapple Meat Cakes: Add one
slightly beaten egg to one pound of
chopped round steak, and mix well.
Add one and one-fourth teaspoons’
salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper,
one cup crushed pineapple and one-
half cup crumbs. Form into round,
flat cakes and pan broil in a hot
skillet. Makes eighteen medium

Southern Fried Chicken with Pine-
apple Wheels: Drain syrup from

enough chicken for eight in the
usual Southern fashion and pile in

the center of a 1 er platter.

Around the chicken arr e a bor-
der of eight lettuce s, using
deep cup-shaped leaves. Place a
pineapple wheel in each and make a
rosette of mayonnaise in the
of each. Serves eight, and provides
both the meat course and the salad.
