Summary[edit]

Description

During the Great Depression, a flood of inferior food products threatened the integrity of the food supply. The 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act set legal standards for most staple foods.

Salad Bouquet was a weakened vinegar labeled “for use like vinegar”; Peanut Spred had few peanuts and much lard; and Bred-Spread had no strawberries, just pectin, dye, flavoring and hayseeds to simulate strawberry seeds.
