Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide for Meat Inspectors: With 159 Illustrations; With Numerous Translation and Alterations At the present time a more active and intelligent interest is taken in meat inspection than ever before. Some years ago our citizens were much exercised over the sensational reports of the inefficiency of meat inspection. As soon as the people began to examine the matter soberly, they found that the initiatory movement for the improvement of inspection had been taken by the Bureau of Animal Industry, that the inspectors were doing their whole duty under the authority which they then had, and that the health of the meat consumer was reasonably well guarded. Nevertheless, with the passage of the law of June 30, 1906, meat inspection was placed on a better basis. Under the new law the inspector cannot recognize lesions which were previously unrecognizable, nor can he perform his duties more conscientiously than under the old law, but he has authority to enforce sanitary measures where previously he could merely make suggestions. It is in the field of general sanitation of abattoirs and packing rooms that the greatest changes for the better have taken place. Under the new law it may be rightly asserted that the Bureau of Animal Industry has put in operation the most efficient meat inspection service known to the civilized world. The inspection regulations reflect the most recent advances in our knowledge regarding the effect of animal diseases upon the wholesomeness of meat for food. Only two sanitary qualities of meat are recognized: meat to be passed, and meat to be condemned. Wholesome meat is not condemned, and unwholesome meat is not passed. The interests of both the consumer and producer are thus fully protected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
