Meat Labels Stop the Lying ' Chopped up Hog Snouts no Longer Pass for "Potted' C.-.icken." ? Washington,?With the view of preventing any possible deception in the preparation C( of meat and meat products, jt the secretary of agriculture yes- l< terday issued instiuctions to the h inspectors regarding the proper a labeling of meats. / The instructions direct that the new labels shall show the true name of the product, the 11 name of the manufacturer and place of manufacture. Labels that are now on hand may be ,, ^ ^ 1 T 1 1; usru uuui jiliiutii y i, |Ji u> iuHit; that a ''ticker,"' approved by the agricultural department is attached. Explicit instructions are given to prohibit the use ot any picture, design or device that will in any way mislead tlie consum er. Veal or pork which bears the picture of a chicken will be on the black list. ^ In regard to the use of geog 1 raphiv*al names, a compromise ^ was effected. It was decided that ^ they may be used, and if the ^ product on which they appear b was not manufactured in the O place named, the words "type.'' ' style," "brand," and "cut" ? must be used. U If Frankfurter sausages are made in America, they nm?t in ft the future be labeled "Frankfur ter st \ le sausages." Virginia ham. 0 which <1 id not come from that .state, must have "style" aflixed 1o its title. Mixtures, when the names in- cl dicate a mixture, such as aau| sage, mince, and bash, need not c 'he marked "comjtmind." Other c] wise their names must he mark ed "compound." In the case oi si compounds containing lard stearin or o'her fats, or cottoi 0 seed oil, the names ot all the in- ? gredients must appear upon the label. The word "ham" without a prefix indicating the species ol I animal, is considered by the do- 2, partment to tie pork ham, hut trimmings removed Irorn the , li I ham and used in the preparation of potted meats or sausage, or when used alone, may be known as "potted ham" or "ham saltsage." g The rules clearly detine what ]j constitutes pure lard, hut pre- f< (scribes ttiat a substance com- ^ | posed of lard, stearin or animal fat and vegetable oil may be la- A | holed "Lard compound." ; Among the other restrictions are the following: "Picnic hams" cannoi oe caiiea "liams," but may be called "picnics" or "pic *> nic shoulders." Little pig snusage may be called "little pork ?} sausage." Extract of beef must be actually made from beef, and veal loal car.not be called such = unless the meat used is veal on fy >y. 1 The same rules apply to other 5 canned products, and manufac- ? turers are warned that the rul- ? ings do not exempt them from the enforcement of state laws. e ? m ?' ?
