Speaking of meat and
poultry, I have some questions
and answers here that just might
help some of our readers who go
out shopping for the family's
meat supplies.
Q — Is it true that colour is
injected into beef when
slaughtered. On occasion I have
purchased fresh meat that
appeared a nice red colour but
when the wrapper was removed
at home, the nice colour
disappeared. Is this lawful?
A — It is illegal to add any
chemical colouring agents to
fresh meats or to the beef before
slaughter. Suspicion of this
should be reported to the Fort
Willi am Food and Drug
Inspector. Fresh meat may be
wrapped in a special plastic with
microscopic pores which allows
air to be in contact with the
meat surface. Through this
process of oxidation, the tolour
is enhanced, or a "bloom" is
added to the meat. When the
plastic is removed the colour
tends to darken. This could
account for your observation.
Q — Why is there a beef
shortage in Canada?
A — The main cause of the
recent beef price increase has
been a shortage of supply in the
face of strong demand. Average
weekly slaughter in Canada
during the first' quarter of 1969
was consistent with most of
1968: however, in April, cattle
available for slaughter decreased

in number from an average of
*53,000 head per week to .48,000
head per week and have
remained at that level. At the
same time, there has been a
decrease in beef supplies in the
U.S.A. brought about by a small
decrease in slaughter numbers
coupled with a decrease over the
past two years of the weight of
American cattle going to market.
The marketing of lighter weight
cattle was a program of self
regulation promoted by the
American National Cattlemen's
Association.
The current shortage of
slaughter cattle is a feature of
the traditional "cattle cycle."
The cattle cycle is characterized
by a period of increasing
supplies of slaughter cattle with
attendant declining prices which
discourages the production of
calves for feeding which results
in a decreasing supply of
slaughter cattle coupled with a rise
in price in subsequent periods.
If one were' to assume that
the costs of growing and feeding
beef remained stable throughout
the cattle cycle, it is seen that
the cattleman, due to fluctuating
prices for his cattle, will likely
profit when supplies of beef are
short and prices high, but lose
when supplies are more than
adequate and prices low. In
actual fact, farm input costs
continue to increase and do not
follow the fluctuating pattern of
agricultural prices.
Over the long haul, on
balance, the cattle feeder has
profited modestly. In spite of
the cattle cycle there is
abundant evidence that the
cow-calf operator has not
received adequate returns to his
enterprise. Every retail cut of
beef must begin with a beef cow
bearing a calf for feeding and
eventual slaughter. A continuing
discouragement of the cow-calf
producer must inevitably result
in fewer beef calves being
produced and thus eventually'
less beef for slaughter. The
present shortage of slaughter
cattle is a direct result of
discouraging returns to feeder
cattle producers for sometime in
the past, There has not been, over
recent years, a sharp reaction by
calf producers to the
discouraging results of their
operations but rather a failure to
expand their production while at
the same time consumer demand
for beef has continued strong
and indeed has increased.
Q Is the procedure of
pumping water into hams still in
practice? How can it be stopped
in Canada as it has been in the
U.S.?
A — Arterial pumping of
hams is a universally accepted
technique of curing hams. It
helps distribute the curing fluid
evenly throughout the whole
product to give a better texture,
more complete cure and greater
protection against breakdown
than would be possible if this
process were not used.
In the U.S., the process is
legal, with the only limitation
being on the quantity of
pumping fluid used. This same
limitation is practiced in Canada,
Q How often are sausage
checked — especially in a store
where they axe made in
comparatively small amounts?
Does the store know when the
inspector is coming?
A — Stores and companies
who make sausages to sell are
checked on a frequent basis.
Total continuous inspection is
not possible on inspection.
Sausage samples are submitted
to a regional laboratory, where
they are checked for cereal
content, moisture content, and
bacteriology. Stores have no
warning of the inspection.
If you have a legitimate
complaint concerning a problem
of health with respect to any
food contact the Food and Drug
Directorate or more
immediately, the Algoma Health
Unit. If your complaint is one
related to an economic fraud,
contact the Department of
Consumer and Corporate
Affairs, Box 99, Ottawa. The
Algoma Health Unit is at 235
Wellington Street W.,
Q Why do some types of
bacon spark more in a hot pan
than others?
A — The "sparking" is due to
changes in temperature during
cooking. The differences in the
amount of sparking are because
of different amount of fat in the
bacon and the age of the bacon,
— new fat will spark more.
Q — Is arsenic used as an
ingredient in chicken feed, and if
so, how much is allowed?
A — Arsenilic acid, in trace
quantities, is present and
permitted in chicken feed, to act
as a tonic or conditioner to
promote the growth of the
chicken. It is not absorbed into
the muscle tissue of the bird,
and thus is not present in any
edible portion of chicken.
Q — Why do I have difficulty
finding less expensive cuts of
meat in my supermarket?
A — Today many types of
meat are expensive but by asking
your butcher, specifically for the
less expensive cuts or varieties,
you should have no difficulty in
getting them. The supermarket
generally displays the most
popular cuts which usually are
the most expensive cuts because
these are the easiest to cook and
the most familiar to the majority
of consumers. Never hesitate to
ask your butcher in the
supermarket' for any particular
cuts, or indeed for any
suggestions on how to cook
theSe cuts..
