Department of Agriculture Vol VI Atlanta Ga August 1919 No 8 LABORATORY REPORT In the following pages will be found the results of analysis of a large number of samples of foods and drugs of a miscellaneous character which the inspectors have secured throughout the State Messrs C R Clark and J J Taylor made the examinations of the foods WARNING TO DEALERS IN SALT FISH IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA This notice is to caution all buyers and dealers in fish known as Salt Lake Herring Ocean Whiting and other similar fish that it would be well to examine all such fish on arrival before paying for same This precaution is nec essary in order that the condition of the fish upon arrival may be noted This department the past season found more than 200000 pounds of fish of this kind in a decomposed condition As most of such fish was unfit for human con sumption we found it necessary to destroy it the loss fall ing in most instances upon the dealers It would be well for dealers in handling fish of this character to bear in mind that the Pure Food Department cannot take action against the packers where the dealer has had the fish in his stock for a considerable length of time In order to hold the packer responsible it is neces sary to prove that the fish were not in proper condition when shipped Therefore if all dealers in fish will exam ine same immediately upon arrival and if found in im proper condition immediately notify the Pure Pood Depart ment they will look into the matter and in this way avoid the loss falling upon the dealer It would also be well for all dealers in Salt Fish during the warm season to either keep such fish in cold storageHBHHHH I 4 MONTHLY BULLETIN or in a cool cellar as they will keep much better in a cool place than they will in a warm place The Pure Food Department has information that the packers of Salt Fish are packing a much better quality of fish this season and will endeavor to furnish good sound fish to the trade and we trust that the dealers will try to cooperate with the packers It is very essential at the pres ent high price of all kinds of meats as well as all kinds of food stuffs to conserve every pound Respectfully O S LEE Acting Chief Food Inspector IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE STATE PURE FOOD LAWS TO SELL BAD EGGS This is the season of the year when eggs should be carefully handled and at all times kept in a cool dry stor age Dealers should see that all eggs are candled when received and should they be kept in stock longer than four or five days it would be necessary for the dealer to re candle them before selling them to the consumer The Pure Food Department of Georgia is endeavoring to secure the full cooperation of all who handle eggs as the price of eggs is very high and when an egg goes bad there is not only a loss of money to someone but food as well It is a violation of the State Laws to sell one bad egg therefore the necessity of candling before selling them to the consumer We trust that all who are interested in the egg line will cooperate with the Pure Food Depart ment to this end Respectfully O S LEE Acting Chief Food Inspectori inMmiiriiii GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 5 VINEGAR Lab

appears an itemized statement of POOD and FEEDINGSTUFFS found to be in violation of the Food and Drugs Act of Georgia and the same was ordered condemned as being unfit for human consumption and in violation of the Act In some instances it is possible to conserve much of this condemned food by relabeling tagging and assorting of such as will do to be permitted to be sold while that found not to be fit for human consumption is either destroyed or put under bond by order of court for its sale and distribution In other instances where it is possible to conserve any wholesome Food material the Department directs the same to be done The mere condemnation and withholding from sale of a lot of food products does not necessarily imply that the foods are unfit for human consump tion but the manner in which it is being offered to the consuming public is in violation of the Food Laws in such instances it is withheld from sale until it is made to meet the legal requirements Product Date
