CATSUPS AND SAUCES. 



As has been previously stated in these reports, there is to be found 

 on the market quite a variety of catsups and sauces, but tomato catsup 

 is probably the most popular of such condiments, and it is used in 

 large quantities. In past years most of these catsups were artificially 

 colored with bright-colored coal-tar dyes and preserved with chemical 

 preservatives. There is possibly some excuse for the use of chemical 

 preservatives in this class of goods, but absolutely none for the use 

 of the coal-tar dyes. The objections to their use are many. They 

 may serve to hide dirt and inferior materials, and are probably more 

 or less injurious to health.

CANNED FRUIT. 



The advantages to be gained by canning fruit are too well known 

 to require explanation here. 



Thirty-three samples of canned fruit of various kinds were ex- 

 amined, but no adulteration was found.
