BAN ON PUTTING STARCH IN CREAM State Health Board Also After Milk Skimmers. Inspectors representing the Indiana state board of health have been directed by I. I, Miller, state food and drug commissioner, to be on the lookout for Ice cream containing starch. The examination of samples recently taken by the department disclosed the unlawful presence of starch, which has been traced to a compound used gener- . ally throughout the state, Mr. Miller says, and which Is sold to manufacturers as a means of saving the cost of Ice cream Ingredients. Warnings have been Issued In the cases apprehended, and these will be followed by prosecutions for subsequent offenses. It being the belief of the officials that some manufacturers have Imposed on the Ice cream men by representing that the compound was not Illegal. The elimination of the practice of restaurant proprietors pouring off the cream from milk served to patrons Is the object of another special effort on the part of the food and drug inspectors. _ It is reported that in some of the larger citler of the state only skimmed milk Is sold for beverage purposes. The law stipulates that milk shall contain 3i4 Pr cent of butter fat. A sample taken in Shelbyville contained .07 per cent. In some Instances Inspectors report that this violation of the law Is due principally to the failure of clerks to keep the milk stirred, while In a majority of eases It Is a deliberate and carefully ex- j ecuted purpose to provide cream without paying extra for it. Bottles taken from the gro-crii- l Indianapolis filled with vinegar from the Grocers’ Supply Company showed a variation of eleven ounces in packages labeled “1 pint G fluid ounces.” The difference was accounted for by the Irregular sizes of the bottles, which were filled to the top. This Is a violation of the weights and measures law and notice was served by the food and drug commissioner that the sales of such Irregularly sized bottles must be discontinued under penalty of the law. The Inability to obtain “cheap” bottles, due to prohibition, was given by the company as the reason for Its using varied sizes and shape of bottles. The convictions of E. D. Walser, Blnflfton meat dealer, for selling adulterated sausage; A. B. Hecker. Elwood, for operating an unsanitary meat market, and the I-agle Ice Cream Company. Anderson, for selling illegal ice cream, and the assessment of fines Os $lO and costß in each case, were reported to the food and drug commissioner today by Inspector John Ale, who appeared in each case as prosecuting witness.for the state. '’ontlnued investigation of the ebaract r of soda water, known as “pop,” by luspectors representing the food and drug division of the Indiana state board cf health, indicates an almost universal adherence to the use of sugar, according Ato I. L. Miller, state food and drug the price of sugar was highest, a few weeks ago, some samples of “pop - * were taken up and found to contain saccharin, an adulterant that Is forbidden In Indianu. For the reason that sugar was hard to obtain at any price, manufacturers of the adulterant found the temptation strong among bottlers, to use the drug. However, according to Mr. Miller, the more conservative bottlers, encouraged by the position taken by the trade press and by state and federal food enforcement officials, have consistently refrained from "cheapening” their product by the elimination of the sugar, which alone, gives the beverage a food value. Quoting the leading trade paper of the bottlers Mr. Miller says It Is true that “there Is no way to make a soda that ~ki stimulating and refreshing without sugar.” It was announced recently that the federal government bad filed charges against a leading maker of saccharin, • barging that he had used sugar to adulterate his product, sugar being less than 30 cents a pound, while the coaltar drug was retailing at more than M a pound.
