Meat Scandal and Tin Meat Stamp Debate
London June 19. In the House of Commons questions were raised about Chicago canned meat supplied to troops in the South Africa war and about ptomaine poisoning versus enteric fever. The War Office noted most canned meat came from the United States but could not specify Chicago sources. The board of trade signaled possible strict inspection of foreign meat on arrival, while defence officials said canned meat rations would be kept in reserve and continued only if safe.
