CHEESES AND CHEESE SUBSTITUTES— Conimtted. 



"There are a large number of imitation ciders on the market, pre- 

 sumably made from fruit extracts, but which are made from chemical 

 flavors. A pure fruit juice or cider is a wholesome beverage, but the 

 imitation products are usually objectionable and should not be used." 



During the year twenty-five samples of these products have been 

 examined, all of which were sent to the Department for analysis by city 

 and county officers, for the purpose of determining the amount of alcohol 

 present; the object being the enforcement of the prohibition law. Most 

 of them were not labeled and no claim was made as to their composi- 

 tion. Two samples, however, ISTo. 10525 and N"o. 10571 were labeled 

 cider. As the results of the examination showed that they were not 

 ciders, they are regarded as adulterated and misbranded. 



The results of the examination and the name of the party who sent 

 the sample to the Department are published in the table below.
