WATERED HAM

In the U.S. ham may now
legally have water added to
it to increase weight before
being sold to the consumer.
This startling information was
revealed in the March, 1961
issue of the monthly U.S. pub-
lication COnsumer Reports.

- It points out that the U.S.
“Department of Agriculture is-
-sued. a special order on Dec.
-80, 1960, without a public hear-
-ing.or a public record, legaliz-

ing the addition of water ,up
to, 16. per cent of the weight of
the. ham.
ESD now, meat packers in the
U.S. charge ham prices for
water without informing con-
sumers.

Consumer.Reporis . carried
photos of the various types
of instruments and. machines
cused for adding water. A
. needle is inserted.into the art-
ery just above the bone and
water forced in..This applies
to pork picnics and shoulders
,» 8S. well as to hams. It does not
apply to.cooked hams because
there moisture is.added during
cooking by another .process.

‘Consumer Reports also states
that the 16 per cent limitation
applies only to  federally-
inspected hams. There are no
; legal limits on ham processed
outside federal inspection.

U.S. farm organizations are
registering. their objection, al-
» armed by. the drop in per cap-
ita . consumption of pork.
‘Every dollar. that the house-
iwife. spends on water at the
ham, counter” said the National
Hog; Farmer in last October’s
issue, ‘is a dollar she won’t
buy pork with.”

Are Canadian hams watered
too? This would be an interest-
ing thing to fing out. It is al-
ready a well established prac-
tice for chain stores to liber-
ally douse vegetables such as
celery and lettuce with water
to increase their weight.
