CONDENSED MILK 



The condensed milk sold upon the markets of the State as a 

 whole meets the requirements of the statute as to the percentages 

 of fat, and is probably in nearly all cases made from pure, clean, 

 healthy, fresh, unadulterated, and wholesome milk. There is a 

 suspicion, however, that some so-called condensed milk made in 

 foreign countries is made in part from standardized milk; that 

 is, milk which, for the sake of uniformity, has been brought to a 

 common standard of butter fat by adding skim-milk to whole milk 

 that is rich in butter fat, and then if condensed according to rule 

 the resultant product will be uniform as to the fat content therein. 

 This practice is upheld by some persons on the ground that it is 

 better that the consumer should have a uniform product than that 

 it should be variable as it would be if made from milk not so
