Show HOW 60DDARD PACKING CAN THEIR GOODS C. B. Burrell, Manager of the Goddard Packing Co. of Provo, Formerly ; Canning Engineer of American Canning Can-ning Company, Makes Statement of - the Process That the Company Uses In the Canning of Their Products. So much has been said In regard to foreign matter in our different foods that this article will put the minds of the people of Utah at rest in regards to oanned goods put up by the Goddard Packing Company and the rest of the canners of this state. Our peas are delivered to the factory fac-tory with the pods on the vines and the farmers pitch them into large thrashers and the peas are thrashed from the pods and carried directly to a cleaner, where large fans blow away all dirt and chaff. The peas are then carried to a large revolving wheel, where a stream of cold water washes away any matter left in them after (coming from the cleaner. After the neaa leave the wheel, they go into a long perforated cylinder, where the different sizes go to their respective places. They then go to long tables where endless belts carry them before a row of girls, whose duty is to pick out any foreign matter, Imperfect and i, over-ripe peas from the endless belt. They then pass directly to a long blancher or par boiling machine, and , are floated through this machine to a revolving wheel on . the other end where a stream of cold water gives them their final washing. They then go to the filling machine and go directly di-rectly in the cans. The Goddard Packing Pack-ing Company have installed in all their factories this year a steam sterilizer ster-ilizer whereby all cans as they come to the filler to have the peas put in have a jet of live steam shooting in s the cans and taking away any foreign matter that might be there. This sys- tern will be put in by all of the canners of Utah this year. The string beans are washed, steam- ) x ed and inspected in the same manner as peas. s Tomatoes are brought directly to the factory from the fields and dumped dump-ed in a large tank of water, taken up an incline, where they are sprayed with water from above and below. They are then carried to another chamber, where they are subjected to . live steam process to loosen the V skins. They are then carried by a long belt to the neatly clad and uniform women who remove the skins and i cores. They are then taken- directly j to the fillers, where they are auto-, matlcally placed In the sterilized cans. All other vegetables and fruits put ! up Jn this state are subjected to the i same careful preparation and every move is carefully watched by competent compe-tent men and women. Utah canned products are put up under the best conditions of any state in the Union, as they are all done by people who live in the community and no foreign labor enters in our factor-f factor-f les and the stringentifood laws in this state in regard to our canned products makes them the best canned goods in the world. They are put up under absolutely sanitary conditions with no ; possible chance of any foreign matter getting in the contents. C. D. BURRELL. |
