LABORATORY OP TBK INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT OTTAWA, CANADA BULLETIN No. 330. BREAKFAST FOODS Ottawa, January 17, 1910. J. U. Vincent, Esq., Deputy Minister of Inland Revenue. SiB,— I beg to submit herewith a report upon thirty-three sample* of so-called breakfast ioods. These are, for the most part, cereals which have been to some extent manufactured by heat, moisture, the addition of malt, feugar, etc. The changes brought 11 bout by these various treatments are generally very slight; if we regard the nutritive value merely. It may be that a somewhat readier digestibility than would reeult from the usual preparation of the cereal as a breakfast dish (by boiling with water and a little salt) may be justly claimed for these foods, and it is undeniable that certain of them possess characteristic and more or less well defined flavours which are approved by the palate. It remains, however, that if we take their co*t into consideration, they must bo regarded as food luxuries. Dr. E. F. Ladd, Food Commissioner for North Dakota, has made a calculation based upon the results of work done at tho North Dakota Agricul- tural Experiment Station, and demonstrating that, wheat costing $1.80 ^per bushel, represents a selling pr^?e in the form of certain breakfast food* of $27 (KrfUetin No. 23, Vol. m, ' IMS. It must, of course, be left to the purchaser to judge whether he ii ^ ' pay so considerable an increase in price for the slight, and sometimes eq' lease in food value represented. Tho cost of all foods has become so greati. ua oed consequent upon world-wide disturbed conditions, that it is a duty fc. "oint out facts like the foregoing, for the guidance of those to whom economy is a matter of concern. A very full discussion of thi*. subject will be found in Inland Revenue Bulletin Ko. 84 (1902), in which appear the results of work upon 30 samples of Breakfast Foods, representing 11 different brands. In Bulletin 132 (1907) a further study of 99 samples, rppresenting 18 different brands, will be found. The present report upon 33 samples indicates that a small number of new brands which have been placed on the market ?ince 1907, differ in no essential feature from those previously reported. A fairly correct notion of the relative nutritive values of those food* (assuming them to be perfectly digw.ted and assimilated) may be obtained from inspection of the numbers in the column headed Calorific value per gram. It will be seen that, as in rarlier reports above mentioned, this ranges from about 3,800 to 4,000. There can he no doubt that oatmeal, preferably flaked or finely ground, and well- looked by boiling, shows a fowl value which places it ouite at the head of the list. I beg to suggest publication of this report as Btilletin No. 330. I have the honour to be. Sir, Tour obedient servant. - A. McGILL. -«- • . " Chief Analysf.
