Meats Condemnation Sparks Debate at Chicago Packers Meet
At the American Meat Packers Association convention in Chicago, a committee reported there is no provision for returning condemned meats to inspected establishments. Condemned for cancer, tuberculosis, or lumpy jaw may be shipped abroad or sold locally. The report notes 26,006 cattle and hogs condemned last year before inspectors withdrew from the stock yards, with tuberculosis and other diseases driving most condemnations.
