 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or Illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copi(»« are filmed beginning on tha 
 first page with a printed or illustrated Impres-

 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The laat recorded frame on eech microfiche

 whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 Yoniata Catstip. 
 
 Ottawa, M«y 30, 1911. 
 
 W. J. Gerald, Esq. 
 
 Deputy Minister of Inland Revenue. 
 
 Sin,— In .funoand July of last year a collection of Tomato Catsup was made, ten 
 samples beins obtained in each of fifte«'n inspectoral districte. 
 
 The samples in question were all 'lined by my assistants and reported to me ; 
 but the reconis were liclievcd to have destroyed in the fire of 4th January last ; 
 
 which also destroyed the samples themselves. 
 
 The recovery of part of the reports on these samples of catsup makes it possible to 
 hand you this fragmentary record : which possesses certain features of interest that may 
 justify its publication. 
 
 In the cases of the following districts, the analytical records are totally lost, viz :— 
 
 Saraplps. 
 
 Nova Scotia 10

CkUup it rather to be regarded aa a coodimeut, i.e., a Masouing for food than aa 
 a food proper for which reawon a consideration of the total nutriment derivable from 
 the article » '« out of place. The value of a catsup is to be judged rather by iti> 
 
 palatabilit} . its effeotivenesa as a stimulant l:> ipp<«tite, than by its nutritire 
 
 quality. 
 
 If however, toniAto cabiup derive, in any degree, its value from the actual amount 
 of fruit spices and oth>-r solid matters used in its production, there is room for astonish- 
 mem at the great variability in dry sulids found in the 75 samples now reported. The 
 total 4olid matter varinn from less than S per cent (Xo. 1349) to above 30 per cent. 
 (Nos. 46089 and 43782) of the weight of the article. The mineral solids (chiefly salt) 
 vary from 0-68 jier cent to 3-82 p«r cent. 
 
 Bulletin Na 129 (Dec. 1906) contains a report upon 49 samples of tomato catsup, 
 and in these a variation of from 7'44 p.c. to 29*04 p.c, was notc-d in total solidi ; while 
 the mineral matter (asli) varied from 1-60 to . 66 per cent. It is worthy of note that 
 the highest ash is not found in those samples which give highest total solid matter. 
 
 Under the regulations made in conformity with the Pure Food Law of the United 
 States, catsup is defined aa "The clean, sound product, made from the properly prepared 
 pulp of clean, aound, fresh, ripe tomatoes, with spices, and with or without sugar and 
 vinegar." 
 
 This definition is very incomplete, inasmuch as its contains nothing quantitative. It 
 would seem reasonable to insist upon a certain minimum amount of fruit, and perhapeof 
 spices, in catsup. The definition quoted posseHses, however, one important and Taluable 
 feature, in that it insists upon the pulp being clean and sound, and prepared from clean, 
 sound, fresh and ripe fruit. Many convictions have been obtained against manufacturers 
 whose cutsup has been found mouldy, rotten or swarming with bacteria. (See notices 
 of judgment 156, 388, Jcc). But even here there is a difficulty, since an absolutely 
 sterile catsup is practically impossible. It would seem well to fix upon a bacterial limit 
 beyond which the article would be illegal. Section 3 (e) of our Adulteration Act is 
 quite as precise as the definition above quoted. 
 
 All of the 75 samples reported were found to be in good condition, and free from 
 moulds or decay. 
 
 Th'ee (3) samples contained salicylic acid as a preservative ; forty-six (46) contained 
 benzoic acid, and six (6) contained sulphurous acid or sulphites. These last were, of 
 counu-, artificially coloured. 
 
 Coal tar dyes were found in 54 cases. There is no greater objection to harmless 
 colouring matter in catsup than in candy. But a suspicion naturally arises that the 
 colour may be used to conceal inferiority in the article, since it ie well known that the 
 uie of fresh and ripe tomatoes renders a dye unnecessary ; and in fact, some of the most 
 attractively coloured samples herein reported were found to be free from dyes. 
 
 The question of fixing a standard for tomato catsup must receive consideration in 
 due course ; and a collection to supplement that herein reported, will be made aa soon 
 as work in hand permits. 
 
 This report is belated, for reasons already given. The work contained in it belongs 
 to the fiscal year ending March 31, 191 [. 
 
 I beg to recommend its publication as Bulletin 224. 
 
 I have the honour to be, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant.
