Vinegar is a product made from apple cider, and when sold without 

 naming the class to which it belongs, it means an apple cider vinegar. 

 When vinegar is sold under a brand or trade name, it should state the 

 class to which it belongs; otherwise it will be presumed to be sold 

 for an apple cider vinegar ; then, in case it is not a cider vinegar, it 

 will be classed as misbranded, and its sale in the State regarded as a 

 violation of the Food Law. 



During the year twenty-seven samples of vinegar have been ex- 

 amined, fourteen of which were either below standard in acidity, were 

 misbranded or were not properly labeled. As will be seen by refer- 

 ence to the table below, several of the samples that did not comply 

 with the law were not offered for sale in violation of it, but were 

 sent to the Department for examination to see if they were legal prod- 

 ucts. However, others were offered for sale in violation of the law, 

 and the dealers have been prosecuted.
