Bill Regulating Shipping of Storage Food Products
In Washington on January 25 Representative Cary of Wisconsin introduced a bill to bar adulterated or misbranded food moved in interstate or foreign commerce or sold in the District of Columbia and other U S territories if held in cold storage beyond specified periods. It imposes labeling requirements, prohibits re-storage after cold storage, and sets penalties up to 5000 dollars fine and 10 years imprisonment. The measure defines cold storage as warehousing with temperatures at or below 40 degrees for more than ten days unless in transit. The bill was referred to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce after reading in the House.
