Packing Food Under the Maine Food Law. 



Chapter 151, Public Laws of 191 1, effective IMarch 30, 191 1, 

 provides for inspection under the Maine Pure Food and Drug- 

 Law, of any food packed in Maine, provided the packer desires 

 such inspection. While the law was intended primarily to 

 allow certain sardine packers who desired it to have inspection 

 maintained in their factories, it applies to any food packed in 

 tni or glass, the packer of which desires the inspection. Pack- 

 ers whose goods are inspected under this law shall be authorized 

 to mark the containers of such goods with a statement that the 

 food therein contained was packed, inspected and passed under 

 the Maine Pure. Food and Drug Law. 



The cost of maintaining the inspection is met by the packer 

 of the food inspected. The permit to pack under the require- 

 ments of this law is for the calendar year, but the permit may 

 be cancelled at any time if the requirements of this law or the 

 Maine Food and Drug Law are not complied with by the 

 packer. The Director of the Experiment Station shall provide 

 adequate inspection and is given the power to make rules and 

 regulations governing such inspection. 



If a copy of this law is desired ask for Circular 416.
