The Preservation of Food in the Home. — Part I 12S3 



" (d) It having been determined that saccharine mixed with food is 

 an added poisonous and deleterious ingredient such as is contemplated 

 by the act, and also that the substitution of saccharine for sugar in foods 

 reduces and lowers their quality, the Secretary of Agriculture will regard 

 as adulterated under the food and drugs act foods containing saccharine 

 which, on or after January i, 191 2, are manufactured or offered for sale 

 in the District of Columbia or Territories, or shipped in interstate or foreign 

 commerce, or offered for importation into the U. S. (F. I. D. 135 and 

 138, dated April 26 and June 20, 191 1, respectively)." 



" Regulation 16. Character of the Raw Materials 



" (a) The Secretary of Agriculture, when he deems it necessary, shall 

 examine the raw materials used in the manufacture of food and drug 

 products, and determine whether any filthy, decomposed, or putrid sub- 

 stance is used in their preparation. 



" (b) The Secretary of Agriculture shall make such inspections as often 

 as he may deem necessary."
