NEW LABELS ON
CANNED GOODS
(Released for Publication)
(by U. S. Dept, of Agriculture)
Washington, D. C., November 28th
From now on, when you visit the
stores of one large chain of grocer
ies in this country, you will find
canned foods which are labeled to
show the quality of the goods you
get for the pdice you pay. That is,
you will find cans labeled, for in
stance, “Grade A, Fancy Quality
Golden Bantam Corn,” and “Grade
A (Fancy) Red Ripe Tomatoes,”
and so on through the list of canned
vegetables and fruits. There will
be other cans labeled “Grade B (Ex
tra Standard)”, and “Grade C (Stan
dard)”. And you will find these
cans listed at different prices ac
cording to their grade.
As a discerning customer, you
realize at once that this is some
thing new. You have not been get
ting this information on canned
foods heretofore. Grades A, B, ahd
C are Government grades—they
meet the specifications and stand
ards of quality set up by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics of the U.
S Department of Agriculture. They
are- grades that have been used by
the canneries and packing houses to
show the quality of the products as
offered wholesale to the jobber or
retailer, anjfl the service of the Gov
ernment inspector is aVailable to'
make sure that the retailer. gets the
quality he bargained for.%BUt, un
til now, nobody has passed that.In-,
formation on to you, the - cUstome*.
The label you saw - in :some.’stores
said, maybe, “Superb,” „ or “Jim’s
Best,” or “Red Mill,” gr ;“Blqe Flow
er^ or something else which plight
go with a pretty picture, but gave
1 you no clue to the quality pf what
was in the can’until you had tried
out the brand. Even \ than hpw
could you- know whether “Superb,”
say, from qne fir,m Was the sa’me
grade as, "Elephant”' brand frqjn an
other? Or how ‘Superlative’.’ com

or thousands of others? Are ‘Choice’
products better than “Select”?
What are “Standard” tomatoes?
With the old kind of labeling, you
cannot rely on price either, as a
guide. Recently a group of home
makers, working in the Bureau of
Economics Laboratory with the as
sistance of expert graders from the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
tested many cans of well-known
brands of canned peas, corn, and
tomatoes. Of the four highest pric
ed brands of canned peas, 8 out of
14 cans were found to be NOT
Grade A as you would expect, but
Grade C quality. Only one can
was Grade A. The same thing held
true in the cans of corn and toma
toes— m^ny of the highest priced
cans turned ^ut to be Grade C.
But now, in the stores of one chain
at least, you will be able to tell
what you are buying before you
take the can home and open it. Ail
three grades, A, B, and C, are good
products. There is no question of
their wholesomeness. Grades B and
C, in fact, will constitute the great
bulk of canned foods on the market.
The differences are largely in size
of piece or uniformity of th& prod
uct in the can, the color, maturity,
and perhaps flavor. In Grade A to
matoes, you should find whole, or
nearly whole, all-red tomatoes, with
the superior flavor of the vine-ripen
ed fruit, picked and canned at the
top of its quality. Grade C toma
toes ate probably the run of the
field! Some may be slightl/ under
ripe, the color not evenly red, there
may be some yellowish pieces in
with the red. But they are clean
land wholesome in every respect,
and they must have a certain per
cept of solid fruit to make the grade
■ So the question is, how do you
Want to use the tomatoes, and what
can;you afford to pay for them?
Fof^tewingOr scalloping, for soup
gf sauee^ the size tit the pieces in
>he can'makes?'no. difference, nor is
the;. depth of the* color important.
Even for^j uice you can use the paler
colored product. In other words,
for - these?* purposes, you can very
well, use Grade C tomatoes, instead
of I’he more' expensive Grade A or
Grade B ;
Something like this js true of oth
er canned products. Grade A corn
is the best in color, size and tender
ness and perhaps in flavor. Grade
C is less perfect in color, the grains
may be broken and uneven in size.
But if you are.making corn soup, or
corn pudding, or corn fritters, you
can use Grade C .corn and make a
perfectly good dish for the family.
So with canned peas, snap beans,
and the rest of the vegetables and
ffuits. If you cannot afford ,<"frade
A or Grade B, you can often do well
with Grade C, provided you choose
the cooking best suited to the cheap
er product. ‘ ' - ' '
r • .
v At all events, housekeepers have
emphatically expressed their desire
for labels that mean something. The
N R A. Code for the canning indus
try calls upon the cannerS'to agrSe
Upon some method of their own for
labeling quality grades, if they do
not accept the one the Government
proposes; some method that might
be adopted by the industry and ac
cepted by the Government. Now
one big'firm steps out, hot waiting
foF the rest, and cooperates with
the Govecnmerlt by using the recom
mended labels and standards estab
lished by the Department of Agri
culture for voluntary adoption.
This is the time then, says the
Bureau of Home Economics, for the
housekeeper, at every purchase she
makes, to ask for the can with the
grade label, and ask for it in every
store she deals with.
There is something else to remem
ber, in connection with labels on
canned foods, the Bureau points out.
Grades A, B, and C represent stand
ards set up for voluntary compli

ance on the part of canners and
dealers. They are not mandatory.!
But there is another kind of label
which is required by law Under
the Food and Drugs Act, any can of
substandard goods must be labeled
‘‘Below U. S. Standard.” In a can
of peaches, for example, this may
mean merely that the pieces are not
perfect in shape, o/' otherwise not
up to the standard of Grade C. It
is wholesome, however. No food
that is unwholesome can be on the
market legally, and the Federal food
inspection service exists to prevent
that.
