and other milk products may be substituted for part of the milk requirement. A 14 oz. piece of hard or semi-soft cheese is equivalent to a glass erf milk. So is 14 cup of creamed cottage cheese or a cup of yogurt. A cup and a half of ice cream will supply the same amount of milk, but will also supply more fat and sugar. A cup of milk offers more good nutrition than an equivalent serving of any other food. What is flat-sour in canned vegetables? Flat-sour is the most common type of spoilage in canned vegetables. It is caused by bacteria which give food an unpleasant, sourish flavor. Flatsour is avoided by use of correct methods of selecting, handling, preparing, packing, processing, and cooking foods. Is it safe to use home canned food if liquid is cloudy? Cloudy liquid may be a sign of Spoilage. But it may be caused by the minerals in hard water, or by starch from over ripe vegetables. If liquid is cloudy, boil the food. Do not taste or use any food that foams during heating or has an off odor.
