Foods and Their Adulteration
Origin, Manufacture, and Composition of Food Products; Description of Common Adulterations, Food Standards, and National Food Laws and Regulations
Foods and Their Adulteration, first published in 1907, is Harvey Washington Wiley's guide to what Americans ate and how it was falsified. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture and the leading campaigner behind the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, works through meats, poultry and game, fish, milk and dairy products and oleomargarine, cereals, vegetables, condiments and fruits, vegetable oils and nuts, edible fungi, sugar, syrups, confectionery and honey, and foods for invalids and infants. For each he explains origin, manufacture and composition, then describes the common adulterations, from dyes and preservatives to substitution, and the standards and federal rules meant to prevent them.
