CANNED PEAS. 



The State Food Law provides that a food product shall be deemed 

 to be adulterated : If it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated, or stained 

 in a manner whereby damage or infirmity is concealed, or if it contains 

 any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingredient which may 

 render such article injurious to health. It is and has been quite a prac- 

 tice among packers to green or artificially color canned vegetables w^th 

 copper salts. 



The question of whether the greening of vegetables for human food 

 with copper salts constitutes a violation of the JSTational Food Law was 

 referred by the Secretary of Agriculture to the Eeferee Board of Con- 

 sulting Scientific Experts in March of 1909. After an exhaustive inves- 

 tigation of the subject the "Eeferee Board" reports to the Secretary as 

 follows : 



''Copper salts used in the greening of vegetables may have the effect 

 of concealing infirmity in as much as the bright green color imparted to 

 the vegetable simulates a state of freshness they. may not have possessed 

 before treatment.
