What practice was illegal in Europe?
Chapter XI.
Chapter XI.
It was illegal in Europe to use "potato flour," a filler put in American meat (sausage).
"Potato flour is the waste of potato after the starch and alcohol have been
extracted; it has no more food value than so much wood, and as its use as a food adulterant is a penal offense in Europe, thousands of tons of it are shipped to America every year."
