Putrid Butterine Controversy Sparks Dairy Legislation Plea
A 1885 letter from JO Epas Sampson of Storm Lake urges state and federal action to regulate butter substitutes like butterine and oleomargarine. He cites health risks, deceptive labeling, and the clash between dairy farmers and buttering manufacturers, calling for strict laws and a special state legislative committee. He argues dairy interests rival national banks in economic impact and urges Congress to act.
