Excerpt from Journal of Proceedings of the National Pure Food and Drug Congress Held in Columbian University Hall, Washington D. C., March 2, 3, 4 and 5, 1898 A great many persons do not like to use pure pepper or pure mustard. They prefer to have it diluted. Manufacturers have therefore assumed from this fact that everybody wants condiments in this shape. So I believe condiments are the most generally adulterated of all food products. I do not think you could go into a hundred stores in this city and buy a hundred samples of condiments. And get 25 of them that are pure and free from adulteration. These fillers. (showing them) are made to imitate the color of the natural condiments. I have no objection to anybody ask ing for this sample. But do not sell this material for pure pepper and pure spices. There is where the fraud comes in. Here are colors for preserved meats. (showing a large number of col ors.) Preserved meats of all kinds are quite extensively colored.
