Tliey are standardized in order to bring about uni
form therapeutic efficiency to the patient whenever
required. This efficiency is most needed in the sick
room?not merely in the laboratory.
What is true of drugs must be true of foods. Purity
and efficiency in the can is only part of the problem
?purity and efficiency in the kitchen is the true test.
The law requires that baking power contain 12%
leavening gas at the time of sale to the consumer.
This measure insures uniform leavening efficiency
and protects the health of the public.
In order to comply with this fixed standard for bak
ing powder, manufacturers must produce and pack
their product so as to avoid the deterioration which
may result from absorption of atmospheric moisture.
Baking Powder manufacturers to avoid violation of
the law, also spend thousands of dollars yearly in
testing grocers' stocks and removing "spent" goods
from nis shelves, in spite of the fact that every pos
sible precaution had previously been taken against
deterioration.
With the exception of Texas, the pure food laws are not applied to bak
ing powder mixed with flour at the mill and sold in bags as "Self Rising
Flour." There is no penalty on the manufacturers if this fails to "self
rise"?the consumer is the "goat"?he is the one that pays the penalty
through indigestion and ill health that comes from eating bakings that
are not properly raised. The standardization of baking powdfr is a pro
tection to both the consumer and the manufacturer?who welcomes
such laws and co-operates in every way possible. But 1
Not so with the self rising flour manufacturer?he resents such laws
and fights such legislation. Why? Because a standardization of self ris
ing flour would require moisture-proof containers instead of cheap sacks
?because low grade "clears" could no longer be sold as "fancy patent
flour." It would also mean he must maintain expert chemical control
such as is now maintained by baking powder manufacturers.
Calumet Baking Powder contains only such ingredients as have been
officially approved by the U.S. Food Authorities.
