Danger From Chemicals
Used in Canning Foods?
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
IN THE OLD days we used to
hear a great deal about sodium ben
zoate. There never was very much
to the sodium benzoate scare, any
Dr. Clendening
In Food Inspection Decision No. 104.
which concluded that benzoate is
harmless.
A number of food products, such
as cranberries, greeen gages and
prunes have a natural benzoate con
tent, and cranberries have been rec
ommended as an aid to digestion. The
health value of prunes is too well
known to need comment.
No Preservatives Used
However, whether they do harm or
not is beside the point, because mod
ern preservative methods in commer
cial canning use no preservatives
whatever. Spoilage of foods is caused
by the growth of yeasts and moulds
and bacteria. These can live on a
food only so long as conditions for
their existence remain favorable
Methods of food preservation aim to
render factors in the food environ
ment unfavorable for the growth or
development of spoilage organisms
Three factors especially determine
the proper conditions for ttie growth
of spoilage organisms in food, to-wit.
temperature, moisture and reaction.
Dried foods, therefore, do not spo‘l
as readily as moist foods. Certain
fermented foods are kept sterile be
cause of the development of the high
acidity.
Canned foods are preserved because
the manufacturers take advantage
of the temperature factor. In * ®
preparation of foods in the process c.
canning, they are subjected to hig
temperatures under vacuum (whie
preserves the vitamins). The most
resistant spoilage organisms are e
stroyed at these levels. The food s
immediately put in hermetically
sealed containers, and this sealing
protects it from further infection ano
spoilage. In fact, canned goods are
usually better protected than naos
fresh foods.
