Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monthly Bulletin of the Dairy and Food Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, 1913-1914, Vol. 11 A remarkable decrease in the use of milk preservatives appeared, there being only three instances in which formaldehyde had been found, two in Allegheny county, one in Venango county; whereas, nine years ago, the Bureau caused upwards of 600 arrests for this offense. Other features of special interest were numerous cases of the sale of rotten eggs in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the frequent discovery of benzoate of soda in excess of the amount tolerated by the present Act, the occurrence of saccharin in soft drinks and the frequent misbranding of these goods; the fact that added copper is still found occasionally in imported French peas; also that a good many cases had been found in which decayed raw materials had been used in food manufacture, or in which food products had become de composed subsequent to manufacture.
