There are a number of proc
essed foods that don’t list
ingredients on the label. Isn't
there a law requiring a list
ing ?
There are around 200
basic food items that have
standards of identity (a
recipe set by Federal law.)
These foods are not required
to list all ingredients on the
label. They include such
foods as bread, mayonnaise,
salad dressing, canned fruits
and vegetables, jams and jel
lies, etc. However, if a sub
stitute is made for any in
gredient, the product must
be labeled "imitation” and
all ingredients must be listed
on the package. Artificial
colors and flavors and chemi
cal preservatives must also
be identified.
Are imitation foods inferior
in nutritive value to natural
foods?
Not necessarily. If jam or
jelly is made with less sugar
than required by the stand
ard of identity, it must be
labeled ‘‘imitation’’ because
it does not conform to the
recipe set by law. Another
example is regular margar
ine. It must contain at least
80 per cent fat imitation
margarine has only 40 per
cent, making it lower in cal-
ories.
Food packages seem to be
getting harder to open. Does
industry think of the con
sumer when designing pack
ages?
Manufacturers have given
considerabl? thought to open
ing and closures on food
packages. But they must also
design packages strong
enough to resist breakage.

■I Button Wardrobe
Science and invention have
come to the rescue of harried
housewives and bumbling
bachelors. Now buttons can
be attached with a twist in
stead of needle and thread.
This patented procedure
turns buttons into wardrobe
accessories which can be
changed by a twist of the
wrist. Discs molded of Du
Pont’s "Zytel” nylon resin
are permanently sewn to the
garment and buttons may be
interchanged in order to
harmonize with the apparel
of the day.
A conservative dark busi
ness suit jacket becomes a
blazer for informal attire by
a switch to shiny metal but
tons. Ladies dramatically
change the appearance of
their clothes by matching
buttons with scarves or hats.
With the year coming
almost full circle, we
once again have the pleasure of
extending the greetings of the
Well-loved carols fill the air as happily,
we celebrate Christmas. To one
and all, our wishes for a season filled
with the harmony of peace and joy.
