defines other products as wine vinegar, malt vinegar, sugar vinegar, glu- 

 cose vinegar, and spirit vinegar, but it makes it clear that the word vine-

The Board of Agriculture of North Carolina, in adopting food stan-

 partment and adopted the same standards and definitions for vinegar as 

 are provided for in Food Inspection Decision No. 140 of the National 

 Department. Under both the State and National Food Laws vinegar is 

 a product of standard strength made from the juice of apples. Spirit 

 vinegar, which is a four per cent solution of acetic acid in water, colored, 

 is not vinegar, and cannot be legally sold as vinegar. It has the acid 

 strength of vinegar, to be sure, but instead of having the delicious flavor 

 and aroma so delightful in vinegar it has nothing but a pungent, stinging 

 odor and Bour taste. 



The sale of compound vinegar, spirit vinegar, etc., is perfectly legal, 

 provided these products are sold for what they are, and under their own 

 names. If compound vinegar or spirit vinegar, etc., should be labeled 

 "vinegar" and shipped from one State into another the National Food 

 Law would be violated and the shipper subject to indictment. Manufac- 

 turers and jobbers know they can't label these products "vinegar" and 

 ship them from one State into another. As these products cannot, because 

 of the National Food Law, be shipped from one State into another as 

 vinegar, this Department holds that retail dealers have no right to sell
