deputy for pork sausage. There are still more cases in which 

 sausages to which water had been added as well as cereal that 

 were sold labeled "Pork sausage, cereal added." 



The purpose of this article is to again call the attention of 

 dealers to the fact that unless goods are exactly what they 

 appear to be they must be correctly labeled when they are de- 

 livered to the purchaser. All imitation, substituted and adul- 

 terated goods must be correctly labeled so that the consumer 

 Vi'ill know exactly what he is getting. 



COMPRESSED YEAST. 



It has been more or less of a custom for the manufacturers 

 of compressed yeast cakes to add starch so that much of the 

 so-called compressed yeast that has been sold in the past was 

 a mixture of yeast and starch. The United States Board of 

 Food and Drug Inspection held a hearing last summer at which 

 the manufacturers of yeast were present. As a result the 

 Board has taken the following position : — 



Thl Labeling of Ylast. 



The term "compressed yeast," without qualification, means 

 distillers' yeast without admixture of starch. 



If starch and distillers' yeast be mixed and compressed such 

 product is misbranded if labeled or sold simply under the name 

 "compressed yeast." Such a mixture or compound should be 

 kibeled "compressed yeast and starch." 



It is unlawful to sell decomposed yeast under any label. 



Thl Sall of Compressed Yeast in Maine. 



After April i, 1910, the sale of compressed yeast in Maine 

 must be made "in conformity to the above requirements. It 

 ^^ill not be enough that the goods be sold from packages prop- 

 erly labeled, but the yeast cake itself, if it contains starch or- 

 other foreign materials, must bear a label stating the exact: 

 facts. It will be lawful to sell without labeling and under the- 

 name "compressed yeast" yeast to which nothing has been 

 added. All other yeasts which imitate compressed yeast, as- 

 above defined, must be correctly labeled when they are given 

 to the consumer.
